How Many Superworms Should You Feed Your Bearded Dragon?

A few superworms each week is a good rule of thumb.

When it comes to superworms, less is more. These worms have too much fat, too much phosphorus, and not enough calcium to be a staple feeder. 

Baby bearded dragons shouldn’t eat superworms at all. Superworms have tough exoskeletons and a sharp spike on their head that make them hard to digest—plus they tend to put up a fight before they become dinner. 

Other reptiles can eat superworms, but smaller lizards like leopard geckos may struggle a bit unless you use small superworms and smash the heads first. (If that sounds a little too gross, you can get mealworms instead, which are up to 5 times smaller than superworms.) 

Before giving superworms to your bearded dragon, make sure they are the right size. In general, insects should be no longer than the space between your dragon’s eyes.

What Do Superworms Turn Into? 

Superworms turn into darkling beetles. Bearded dragons and reptiles can eat them, but they tend not to enjoy the taste.

If you store superworms in a small container where they are in contact with each other, they won’t pupate (turn into beetles). If you separate them, they will.

How to Store Superworms

Superworms are pretty low maintenance. Keep them in a container with a punctured lid and dry oats for bedding. You can give them potato slices or carrots for hydration.

Can You Refrigerate Superworms?

No. Refrigerating superworms will kill them. Keep them at room temperature instead, preferably between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Are Superworms Safe for All Reptiles?

Superworms are suitable for many reptiles as a supplemental feeder insect (not a staple). Because of their large size and tough exoskeletons, superworms are most suitable for larger lizards—adult bearded dragons and monitors, for example. Smaller reptiles tend to struggle with superworms.

How Long Do Superworms Live?

When stored together, superworms will typically live for 6 months to a year. To put that in perspective, crickets tend to live for 8 to 10 weeks and Dubia roaches live a couple years. So superworms have a slightly longer life which makes them convenient to keep on hand as treats for your pet, since they won’t need to be replaced too frequently.
