I have heard that you can...but wouldn't the silk they spin be bad for the little leos?? I am looking to add more variety in my leos diets and was wondering what else could be used as treats? Thanks in advance !!!!!!!!

Silkworms are an excellent source of protein and other nutrients, and can even be fed to leos as a staple diet.

Hi

Besides, with all that silk, they would just slide right done, yumm, yummm. (grin).

Take Care, TLB

I am going for the staple. My silkworm kit should arrive tomorrow. Hopefully I get some good eggs from them to get my colony going. Hope to use these as a staple and supplement with mealies and supers. Throw in some crix so they can enjoy the hunt.

I'm having problems with my leopard gecko not eating. I think I need to feed her a liquid diet or something. I posted under "non-breeding leopard gecko producing eggs", which explains my situation. Any help would be extremly appreciated, I don't know what eles to do.

Sorry my message is for Marcia, I was told you had info on liqud diets.
