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?Â
- 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.
Helpful?
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.

Hello i have a leopard gecko i got her from my biology teacher shes super tamed i was wondering if i should feed them crickets or mealworms and how meny
I have had Lyra for about 3 months. so far mealworms are doing fine,but I have been doing research about mealworms, andmost people say they are hard to digest. I would feed crickets, but they freak my parents out (including myself), and they are a bit more work. Is it ok to feed the mealworms? (My crested gecko LOVES them. she is about half full grown, and she eats 2 to 4 every day!) Also, my crested gecko was fed almost ALL insects, and now she won't eat the diet..
What kind of worms are these?
I have an adult quail with Capillaria (crop) worm and Heteroecious worms? She has been quite ill. She was not showing any signs of illness until she escaped from her pen for aprox. 1 hour. I believe she has had the worms for awhile, maybe the stress of being frightened caused her to become ill from them. What dose of Ivermectin drench should I use?
Hello! Is it a MUST to gut load my mealworms? ALso, do I HAVE to dust them in calsium if I'm providing the calcium in the crested gecko diet? One last thing: are mealworms or crickets better for my crestie? Thanks so much for all your help!
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 have a 2 year old male Leopard Gecko.I bought him a year ago and he was very skinny (24 gr).Now he is in a 60×45×30 exo terra and he weights 48 grams.He eats mealworms, superworms and waxworms.He usee to love crickets but now he doesn't touch them.From time to time he stops eating and makes me stressed.I know about nutrition and care and all and he's healthy but sometimes ge stops eating for a couple of weeks or a month!What am I doing wrong?He is very calm around be and well tamed.

Hi, I fed my bearded dragon too many waxworms (approx 15) and now he seems lethargic, closing his eyes (closing then opening, etc) most of the time. Is there anything i can do for him?
