Are they better than crickets, superworms, and silkies.

I dont know about Better than, but they are good. the best diet is generally a varied one than you can be sure your Dragon is getting all the nutrients it needs. And they dont get bored. Butterworms are ok to mix in with the rest

Thye guy I was getting mine off of said that two hid under something in one of his plastic cages and when he found them they were actullay melted to the plastic. I found many in the shipment that I had that were in that state and the cup smelled really acidic. I fed 32 to my adult and they didn't hurt her in any way but that whole melting to the plastic thing just doesn't appeal to me at all.....

Later,

One problem with butterworms is that it seems when they die, they give off some sort of acid when they decompose, just make sure that you remove and dead ones and you'll be fine.
