QuestionHello, I recently got my bearded dragon mealworms, and while i was reading an article online about feeding, it said you should not feed bearded dragons mealworms. It said mealworms have a hard, crunchy, shell, that could be fatal to bearded dragons. I can't go get him crickets because the petstore where we got him is far away from here. Any suggestions at all? =)
AnswerHello, it is true that mealworms have hard shells. The bearded dragon body is not use to digesting the hard shell and should only be fed them very few each day. i would suggest feeding good greens to your dragon until you can get them crikets to feed on.
