Hey my beardie is losing interest in his meal worms so I wanna switch to roaches because I know they are much better nutrition wise. Does anyone have a good website to order roaches from and how many should I give him a week. Is roaches enough insects or should I also continue to give him worms? When I get the roaches what type of cage do I need and what food should I be feeding them? I have his veggies working out great I'm just lost as far as the insects go. If anyone would be able to give me advice I would greatly appreciate it I get very worried when he doesn't eat his foods loll. He's about 2 years old and weighs 350 grams.

Its good you getting him off the meal worms as they are basically a treat worm - I would feed him 2-3 times per week the roaches and feed large about 5-6 it will depend on him - I would get him some super worms and feed them a few every couple of days-
set up a 10 gallon aquarium and I would start off w/ 200 of them feed dubia food and dubia dew / crystals - also what you feed your dragon w/ the exception of carrots not both one or the other too much Vit A-
