Is it ok for my bearded dragon to eat more mealworms than crickets. She is a baby beardie (couple months old) she will eat mealworms before she will touch a cricket. Pet's info: Reptile | Bearded Dragon

Thanks for reaching out about Lexi. Mealworms are generally bags of fat, and needed to be gut loaded to provide any nutrition. But other insects must be offered to provide a healthy diet. Don't forget UVB radiation and the proper heat support. Bearded dragons also should eat a wide variety of vegetables. Good luck.
