Thanx for that.
I'd rather raise silkworms than crickets.
I live in the UK, so will our room temps be warm enough to raise them?
Khan does get a variety of insects, but feeding crickets once in a while will be easier than x2 a week, and i know i keep mentioning this, but they STINK!! As well as crickets he gets mealworms and the red beetles,the occasional waxworm, but mainly the wax moths, which he LOVES!! And also the occasional locust. Going to try butterworms too.
I can't get over how much he loves his greens as well!! So many keepers come on here saying their beardies don't touch their greens much. Mainly youngsters like, which I know prefer inects to start with, but its funny how much their tastes change.
One more question. I supplement crickets once a week with calcium and once every 2 weeks with vits. Do I need to do this with the silkworms? Oh, and does the size rule still stick, or is it ok to feed large worms because of their soft bodies?
Thanx
