they can eat various types of roaches (hissing and lobster, plus others but I can't think of the names right now). You can get silkworms from several different sources, depending on where you are from. In canada there are the following that I know of:

www.silkworms.ca
www.portcreditpets.com
www.silkwormexports.com

In the states I only know of one, mostly because I haven't looked for htem in the US as I don't live there

www.mulberryfarms.com

Hope this helps.

There are tons of different roach species available on the market that bearded dragons can eat. Some of the more popular ones are (madagascar hissing roaches, lobster roaches, orange head roaches, death head roaches, orange spot roaches, discoid roaches, etc......

Also you can try butterworms and grasshoppers (grasshoppers are hard to find commercially in the USA, unless you buy zoomed - canned ones).

Plus the foods you listed (crickets, superworms, waxworms, silkworms).

You would think though that with the number of different insects in the world that there would be more species available commercially. Oh well! Got to work with whats available LM
