They are more nutrious than crickets or mealworms, the only down side to feeding butter worms is that they are more expensive. n/p

i dont think so, since they won't gutload on a variety and it is hard to find the food they eat. i would say they are more like a good treat.

When they are shipped to you their bedding is what they eat. They and the food last a real long time. I have had mine now for a few months or so and my leos love them. They are really good for your leos but I think the addicting like waxworms though. They are a good treat maybe one ever other day. The make your leos feces a tad runny but not that bad. They have a lot of fat and protein and are juicy and thats why the feces gets runny. I would prefer them just not on a everyday basis.
