Won't eat crickets

KevinN Aug 13, 2004 04:24 PM

I have a 3-4 month old dragon that will not eat crickets. Shows no interest at all. I've tried all sizes. Was forced to feed him meal worms which I know aren't that good for him.
Any ideas how to get him eating crickets without starving.

Hey there, one of my beardies wouldn't hunt her crickets so we had to feed them to her out of a solo cup. Been doing it for 6 1/2 years now.

If he just won't eat crickets at all, you could use silkworms instead. They are more expensive, but they are much better than mealworms.

I have tried them several times with my other beardies, but I have trouble keeping them alive with the chow and not molding.
