Butterworms????

beausblue Sep 23, 2004 08:58 PM

I have heard that Butterworms are really high in calcium. Does any one have any expereinces with them? I have an opertunity to recieve a large lot of them for free. I have heard that there are types of worms that have almost no nutritional value for your reps. I would appreciate any thoughts you might have on this. Thanks.

I use butterworms for my babies as more of a weekly smorgasboard. They are a bit pricey compared to other foods I have access to. I have not had any problems with them, maybe others have, but not I. I do dust them as well.

Thank you for your reply I just did not know if they were a good sometimes food. Like I said they are being given to me for free so I thought I would give em a shot. Thanks
