Best Wormies

TanDrag Jul 15, 2005 02:42 PM

Although I feed a varietie of foods; crickets, varying worms, and greens and fruits im trying to get some info on the best worm sources.

It seems hard to find nutritional information for worms and which suite beardies best. Trying to find a worm easily accepted and high in moisture and protein. Silk worms seem to be a favorite of my guys.. N E one got any info?

Silkworms ARE the best worm. Variety is good, but silkworms are the most nutritous and best to feed as a staple. You can do all your ordering of them at the link below. Today is free shipping Friday...so get moving! Also is a link to Beautiful Dragons nutritional page. All the info you need, including silkworms.

Actually earthworms are pretty good. Just buy some nightcrawlers from GI Joes or something. They're nice too because there's no risk of impaction.

Earthworms are ok occassionally, not good for a staple feeder. Good for variety, though. Never feed your dragon any type of worm that was raised/sold as bait.
