My male Veiled Stitch, LOVES them and will sometimes only want to eat them. They are hard on the digestive system, so what I do is I have a bin set up with about 150 worms and I only feed him the worms that are freshly shed. They loose the old skin and turn a fresh whiteish brownish color. I feed them food from Cricketfood.com, and some chick meal for them to burrow in. I only give them organic carrots, broccoli and beets. You have to change the veggies out daily as they tend dry out alot quicker then they do with the crickets. I have a bowl that I put them in and he zaps them out of there. There is no need to chop the heads off (unless you're into that)  . I put the crickets in the same bowl with the worms, usually about 2 to 3 worms and about 5 to 7 crickets. I put the silk worms seperate, and if I mix the food, he is more likely to eat both the crickets and the Kingworms, then if I only put worms in the bowl and let the crickets roam the cage, he gets lazy and only wants whats in the bowl.
Good luck with your baby!!
