Howdy--hey you all might consider a few other options for your horned lizards, if you are not in freezing climate you may catch moths as HLs love moths, if they are in a weakend condition but eating pull one or more wings off so they can catch the moth easily. ALso if you remember Cable and earwigs, if you live where you can find an earwig under a rock they are relished as well. I like to use wax worms which is counter to some of the conversations here, I have never had a problem with them, and if you do feed your animals super worms or any mealworms feed them freshly shed soft bodied, not the normal ones, but I agree that because there are other insect offerings that these should not be a mainstay for a horned lizard, mostly because they are not that nutritious, but variety is also important.......cheers!

Anyone else have food source insects that they use for small lizards or HL's?
