I've read that some people feed the beetles to their dragons. I was thinking of using fishing tackle box organizers to separate the worms for transformation from larvae to pupa. And then a separate container for keeping the ready to eat worms for Shacklynn. I'm planning on using "old fashioned oats" (not quick oats) as substrate and keeping them in a three drawer plastic container: beetles and eggs, worms that are growing, worms that I'm fattening up for metamorphosis. I was wondering if anyone is currently breeding superworms and can offer me some advice. I read the post on breeding supers that h0ndap0w3r posted on this forum several years ago and watched a few videos on YouTube about breeding superworms and it seems relatively simple. I haven't had any problems with impaction so far, but I have some crickets and "gourmet beside diet" to feed her in the meantime (the mix I have has dried worms and blueberries in it in addition to vegetable pellets and she mostly just picks out the worms and berries and ignores the other stuff) At the rate she's growing that will be pretty soon so I'm thinking of starting to breed my own superworms for her to eat. She's 14.5" long now, but I've read that they aren't really a safe food to eat until she gets to be 15-18" long. ![]() She'll try anything I offer her in my hand at least once, but she doesn't eat much of anything except the superworms. ![]() I've tried feeding her a few different things, mealworms (which she had been fed on in the pet store), crickets, black soldier fly larvae, superworms, collard greens, carrots, butternut squash, yellow squash, regular and "gourmet" prepared bearded dragon diets and so far all she really seems to like are the superworms. I've had my Beardie, Shacklynn, for about 4 months.
