Our premium choice recommendation is the Zilla reptile Munchies Mealworms. These fresh worms offer the ease-of-use you get with dead worms and the nutritional benefits of live worms for a very affordable price. When we’re looking for the best value, we choose Fluker’s Gourmet-Style Mealworms. This mix provides several whole food sources packed with healthy fiber and a minimum of 56% crude protein. You read about them in our reviews, but we’re going to quickly summarize them once more to drive the point home.įor our dragons, we prefer the Fluker’s 5-Star Medley Freeze-Dried Mealworms. After feeding our dragons as many different worms as we could find, we’ve narrowed down the choices to three that our dragons seemed to love the most. Worms offer a diverse and nutritional food source for bearded dragons. You can easily grow them to a larger size for feeding adult dragons, but that could take a while and will require caring for the worms until they reach the desired size. You’ll get 20-30 worms in a package, ranging from 0.25 inches to 0.5 inches in length. These worms are guaranteed to arrive alive, making them easy to feed. They’re also more expensive than other worms, another reason it’s best to feed them sparingly.

However, storing live worms can be more difficult, especially hornworms who grow very quickly. Live worms like these provide more nutrition for your dragon and they’re more fun for them to eat as well. They’re perfect for an occasional treat, but we don’t recommend feeding hornworms as a staple in a dragon’s food regimen because they’re not very high in protein. One great choice for a bit of dietary diversity is hornworms, such as these Premium Live Hornworms from DBDPet.

Like us, bearded dragons can benefit from a varied diet rather than eating the same foods every day.
