ExoTerra Silkworms and Grasshoppers.. What do you guys think of them?

drunkmike Jan 05, 2006 07:27 PM

what do you guys think of these? I was in a local petstore today and came across these and had never seen them before. I know my juvi usually wont eat anything unless it is moving but I figured I would give it a try. After opening the can and almost passing out from the smell (lol) I grabbed ahold of one of the silks with my tweezers and stuck it outside of the glass to see if there was any interest and she tried to jump through the glass at me! Same with the grasshoppers.. I didnt even have to try and make it look alive with these, she just went after them. Kinda pricy at $4.50 for a small can, but hey if she likes them and will eat them as a snack I'm all for it.

My Zilla LOVES the exo terra silkworms! I agree....they are sooo gross. LOL I wish I could figure out how to make his greens taste like that! LOL I'll have to try the grasshoppers. I like to have them on hand for emergencies, if I run out of crickets. I'm so far from a petstore.

my juvi has been too lazy as of late to chase crix so these are a welcome addition to keep up on the bug count for her.. My big male has never had an appetite for live food so he wont eat those reguardless.. he is a lost cause almost lol. he eats what he wants, when he wants..
