If your going to use them for a beardie, gut load them real well and use them only like once or twice a week.busybones wrote:humm....we have beardies too..but don't feed alot of mealworms anymore. Thanks for letting us know that they can cause the digestive problems i was totally unaware. We them a pretty good mixed diet of lettus, crickets, superworms, and pinkie mice. They've done pretty well so far.
what do you gut load them with? veggies i'm guessing?

At the moment he's 3.5 inches long and is in a 4ft x 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft (around 250 litres)
I've read he will grow to 2 foot! when he does get BIGGER I'll house him in a bigger tank
It's my dream for him to have his own room in my house so that I can convert half the room into a tank
