Silkworms are a great food source and if you have a ready source of mulberry leaves, thats even better. If they don't bother you, I'd recommend starting a very small colony of dubias (10 gallon tank size). They are very easy to keep, dragons love them, and would be a great 'co-feeder' with your silkworms.

I actually bought 50 mixed dubia last tuesday to try an start my own colony, been feeding dry cat food an mustard greens. I looked at them today an several were white from molting I guess. But ya kinda got off the subject ...lol but thanks for the advice.

Thumbs up Got them today!!!

So the Phoenix worms came today(2 days late) and the smalls are extra small, I think I should have got medium..lol BUT they were at least all alive well atleast what I can see. And so far my beardie has ate about a dozen or so, not quit as many as I was expecting....BUT he does seem to like them so I guess so far I'm gonna give the Phoenix worm a thumbs up(altho there pricey an a lil slow on shipping) they seem to induce a pretty good feeding response and are easy to prepare due to packing not sticking too bad.

both are good repti worms are smaller and better for younger dragons and silks are good to add to the mix as a stable variety is best there are at least 6 worms you could use heres some nutritional facts

( silk worms) 1:2.4 calcuim to protien /calcuim is 63.8%Contain an enzyme called serrapeptase, this has properties that make calcium absorption more efficient, can reduce inflammation, pain and best of all it can break down arterial plaque.

Phoenix worm update.

So as far as I can tell my bear die still likes crickets over these Phoenix worms. Don't get me wrong he's eating the worms just not as often or as many as the crickets, I bought 600 and probably have only fed about 100 or so? Hopefully he takes to them maybe the mediums will trigger a better response???
