I think BD's just like superworms more than crickets. It seems more likely that a Beardie will eat a Super even when they're really not all that hungry. Especially young dragons. If a dragon is hungry he'll eat whatever is available. Most of my egg layers will eat crickets like crazy when they are hungry from laying eggs but don't have much interest in them after egg season has ended.

Crickets aren't that bad. I clean their bins weekly and give them plenty of ventilation so their habitat stays dry and there really isn't any significant smell. It's also easier to gutload crickets with a healthy diet. I could have as many as 7K at one time but never have less than 2K. With a variety of animal size and species I have to have 3 sizes available.
