So as of lately I have been trying to give my beardie a variety of foods. He seems to have gotten bored of crickets and he really doesnt get excited to eat them as much anymore. Every so often I will bring home a few waxworms which he absolutely loves but I know they are high in fat. So today I discovered that the petshop had megaworms so I picked up 25. He loved them and I had to the tub out of sight because he kept trying to get to it. I havent been able to find much info on them. How is the nutrition in those and how often should they be given to him?

I'm guessing they're another name for superworms. Can you post a picture so to help us know for sure?

Mega worms used to be called Giant Mealworms.

Giant mealworms are just normal mealworms treated with a hormone to keep them from pupating. They just keep growing until they die, still as larvae.
