supers

Im with Lynn, I don't use crickets unless they won't eat supers. I have had zero problems feeding supers and their much easier to keep clean etc. Mine get a lot of calcium in their diet (i feed a fresh alfalfa, birdsfoot trefoil, clover, and green mix) so i am not concerned about having unbalanced Ca:P ratios. Plus excess chitin is not a problem if you select worms that have just shed.

I have a 11 week old beardie who really does not like his greens. I have tried squash, zuichini, collard greens, parsley, shaved carrots, cilantro, watermelon, and strawberries so far. The only thing I have seen him pick at is the parsely. I have dried making the salad move, I have put mealworms on it, and have dropped it over and over in frint of him. Even misted it with no luck. He does love his crickets though, and gobbles them up. I tried going a day without giving him the crix to see if he would be hungry and eat the greens...but it was a lost cause. Any further idea's some of you might have?

He is nice and healthy, fat, very active and alert, and extreamly friendly. But like any kid...don't like his veggies.

Though Superworms are not healthy enough to be used as a staple... Crickets are more nutrional then a superworm anyday.
Even though superworms have more meat then mealworms, their shells still have alot of chitin in them... and a adult dragon can get impacted by them. It has been known to happen...

Silkworms, and crickets are probably the most healthy staples out there. Though I recommend silkworms, they don't stink and they're soooft. Also, there's no risk for impaction when feeding silkworms... They do not have shells.

My youngest dragon, Draiken would not eat his greens for the longest time... What worked for me is dropping his greens onto his basking spot daily... He decided to eat them one day, and has eaten them ever since. You could try that. Just make sure you remove the uneaten greens at the end of the day! Offer fresh ones daily...
