thank kelly the butter worms i no are high in calcium and are surpose to be ok for a treat but its the quantity i was concerned about
crickets and greens are her main diet but i do give 1 or 2 meal worm a day and i read about the wax worm being ok for treats but again its quantity was going to give 1 maybe 2 a month

My beardie just does not eat crickets at all, he eats mainly locusts, and has greens, he just love dandelions, he is two so I only feed him live food 2 or 3 times a week with fresh greens everyday.

My beardies wont eat crickets either.
As their staple they eat locusts and tons of greens. The locusts are well gut loaded.
As a treat they have waxworm moths maybe once or twice a month.

My beardied hardly touch their green, they do like flowers and love chickweed.
My adults get locusts every other day

My babies have crickets, locusts and some greens
