    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Is it okay to feed your bearded dragons the little aliens (white pupae between mealworm and beetle) to bearded dragons? I have a lot of these and my dragon eats them like popcorn. I am limiting him to a few a day till I find out if they are okay. They make a handy filler for when there are no crickets around. He is about 13 inches long and 87grams. Also I heard you have to wait till they are bigger before you give them mealworms, well what size qualifies as big enough? Thanks all.

I feed the aliens to my dragons whenever I have them. I have never had a problem with the adults eating them. I would venture to say with your dragons size it would be ok to feed him a few aliens from time to time as a snack. I don't feed them to the younger dragons though.(less than 10").

As far as mealworms go......... Your guy is big enough to eat supers if you wanted to feed them. Only a few from time to time but they should be ok.

Others may disagree but I'm just giving you advice from my own personal experience.
