Charlie, a sand-fire Bearded Dragon, has been a member of our family since he was only two inches long. He seems to have lost his appetite for Bearded Dragon pellets, and he lost a fair amount of weight last Spring. So we have started feeding him superworms, and he has started to gain weight.

The problem is buying superworms. The ones from our local Petco are in pretty bad shape. Many are dead, or die soon after I bring them home. As a consequence, I have to go to Petco three times a week to buy them in smaller quantities. Charlie eats about 16-20 per day.
The solution is to become a superworm farmer! I found a great video on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex-jbQtClPM) on how to grow superworms. This blog will document my experiences as a superworm farmer.
Step 1 is to put the superworms into their own private cells and wait for them to pupate. After visiting Target and Ace I had to go to Michael's to find just the right container for the superworms to pupate.
There they are....20 little superworms wiggling around their cells.
Stay tuned for more exciting adventures of the Superworm Farmer!
