Default Beardies and waxworms

Hi Guys

Just a quick question, I have brought my male beardie some waxworms today and was just wondering how many to feed him. I dont want to over feed.

Cheers Sam

It is indeed, just been giving him locust and crickets and his veg which he has been great with. But I thought I would give him a treat and brought waxworms.

I see, best to just use as an occasional treat, maybe once a week. As they are fatty, feeding at the level you have, this could lead to health problems long term
