There is a range of ages at which bearded dragons can eat superworms. Here is a breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Juvenile Bearded Dragons<\/strong>: If the worms are small enough, juvenile bearded dragons can be fed superworms as early as 5 months old. The bearded dragon must be closely monitored during feeding time so it can catch the worms before they bite. If the dragon has had digestive problems before, it is also recommended to consult a vet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Older Juvenile Bearded Dragons<\/strong>: Bearded dragons that are four months or older should be fast enough to feed on superworms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Adult Bearded Dragons<\/strong>: It is safe to give Superworms to adult bearded dragons as long as they are not the sole staple of their diet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Baby bearded dragons should not be fed superworms due to the serious risk of gut impaction that they pose. If you are determining if your bearded dragon can consume superworms, it is important to consider the length of the dragon as well as their age. For personalized advice tailored to your dragon’s unique needs, consult with a veterinarian for personalized guidance during feeding time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
