Questions
How big are these? Will they be too big for my juvenile, 2 month old, veiled chameleon?
- They're pretty tiny! Our veiled has done perfectly fine and he's a baby, too!
Helpful?
Are these the same as silkworms? Thanks!
- Nope. These are different. Silkworms are larger and turn into moths. These are smaller, higher in calcium, lower in fat, and turn into flies.

Helpful?
can you feed these to a betta fish? I'm considering getting a living food source for my betta.
- No they're too big. Try wingless fruit flies or brine shrimp. Also keep an eye out for foods made from black soldier fly larvae

1.Can my juvenile leopard gecko eat these? 2. Can I feed them to her everyday?
- Hi Vonna, fellow leopard gecko owner here. Your gecko can eat these but it’s best to feed mealworms or crickets everyday when they’re young. They definitely could eat these for some variety but not as a staple.

How often do you feed these....one once a day as a suppliment? Also, how long will a container last/live in the refrigerator? '
- You can feed these as a staple (similar to crickets, main source of protein) or it can be fed on occasion. Never store in the fridge, they will die! Store in an ideally cool area, the warmer they are, the shorter they last.

What kind of worms are these?
I was wondering how much I should be feeding my pet leopard gecko. He's a hatching probably only a few months old. And I have been feeding him one meal worm a day and like 3 smal crickets. But he will eat up to 6 or 7 a day if I let him. Also I purchased about 50 small crickets and some of them have grown quite large. They would still be considered small. But I was wondering if they were now too big for him. What I will typically do is feed him 1 larger cricket. 1 worm and then 1 small cricket.
I am feeding my leopard gecko every day and he sometimes he eats nothing like only twice that happened but what really worries me is sometimes he eats 15 mealworms!
Can I give my Chilean rosey red-haired tarantula green Hornworms as an alternative food source, then the Dubia hissing cockroach it lrg crickets
Is there anything I can give Lucy for protein besides worms I see she doesn't really care for them
My leopard gecko wont eat mealworms. What should I do?
I gave my adult leopard gecko (female) a large horned worm (size of a pointer finger) as somebody I know told me any size will do, since they’re mostly water. She struggled to get the worm down, and its head was visible in her mouth for a short while. Her abdomen appears “full” and the color of the bright blue worm is showing through her abdomen and neck. She’s stretching her body out and swallowing/licking non stop. Other than that, she appears normal. Should I be worried, or?
Lyra will eat TONS of crickets if I let her. Should I feed her as many as she wants? If I should limit it, how many crickets should I feed her and how often? (Lyra will eat around 5 every day, sometimes 7). Also, is it a must to put them in her vivarium? Can I put the cricket and Lyra into a plastic box type thing instead? (I'm a bit scittish when it comes to insects. So if I put a cricket in the cage, whenever I open it I would be a bit scaird..) (Btw, I will put a picture of the plastic box)
Black worm with yellow or orange stripes and I don't know what it is
I adopted a sick Leopard Gecko from a local pet store. The pet store doesn't take good care of Leopard Geckos. They have dried Mealworms, no calcium, no humidity, and their all crowed in one hide. My Leopard Gecko Geo wasn't eating Mealworms or Crickets. She is underweight and her tail is skinny. I started to get concerned so I started syringe feeding her daily with ReptaBoost. Today I saw her throw up some of the mix. It looks like she was struggling to regurgitate. Also the humidity is high.
Mushu stopped eating mealworms one day suddenly, and wouldn’t eat for a few days. I had dusted his food a few times with calcium without d3 for the last month but not very much. The other day I got crickets and mushu had one, I got a silkworm but wouldn’t touch it. I purchased calcium with d3 yesterday and gave Mushu dusted crickets, which he ate about 2 of. Mushu has been limping slightly in his tank recently. I also bought a smaller hornworm and Mushu still wouldn’t touch it. What do I do?
I have an amphibious,( don't really know the type or age) who did not eat for almost 3 weeks , tried different type of food , last one i bought contains calcium and vitamin A, keeps worming the water but with no use .. what shall i do ?
