so guys i bought some dubias and i will see how my beardie likes thems. I have one question will he grow better on dubias

I don't know about him growing better on them, but I can tell you that your beardie will LOVE them. My guy still eats mainly crickets (my colony hasn't reached full feeding potential yet) but he doesn't really attack them, just eats them..but when I throw a roach in there he goes CRAZY!! I didn't think he would like them, and bought them after he stopped eating any bugs at all, they got him to start eating again.

They have a higher meet to shell ration so they are better for them and more protein. Plus they don't stink like crickets or jump or chirp ++ all the way

yeah my beardie did the same thing on crickets and some days he woudn't even eat them maybe 3 a day but with the dubias he his eating 15 a day so if he is eating better now it should help him grow better because he is getting alot more protein so it should help with growth

i probably will be doing away with crickets he absoulutely hates crickets i will feed him dubias and different types of worms of high quality
