I would feed them sparingly as a treat. I use Wax Worms with mine as a treat as they are high in fat & become adictive to them.

Silkworms are the best bug there is for feeding you can feed them every day

Thanks for that info Bill, Not something I have come across in the UK, I assumed they were the same as the wax worms.

okay thanks, he was hesitant at first but now he loves them. i just wasnt sure if it was good to feed them as a baby beardies main food source
