Butterworms

leofreak Jan 05, 2004 02:28 PM

I went to www.butterworms.com and i was checking them out because my female albino hates calcium powder. It says you can use as a staple diet which I plan on(i'm feeding her part mealworms and part butterworms).Since i don't know if you really can use these as a staple diet can you?And if you do...Do your geckos like them?

Butterworms have the most calcium compared to any other feeder insect. I get mine from herpfood.com. Not sure if you should be feeding butterworms & waxworms as a staple diet, they are also the two most fatty insects out there.

Only 2 of my 4 leos like butterworms.
