Obviously bd's will devour crickets. But I want to give mine a treat here and there. Could I give him some as a treat occasionally? If so, how many small mealworms for a nine inch dragon?

Okay for adults as treats, can cause issues with babies.  Super worm are a different species of grub that's larger and is a better treat.  Supers are still high in fat.  Horn worms, Phoenix / reptiworms / soldier grubs, butter worms, and wax worms make great treats as well.  Never feed wild insects though Wink

Thanks. I have heard some mixed answers here and there. All advise is still advice though. I wouldn't give him a whole lot of treats. We stick to our diet pretty seriously. Thanks for the advice.
