Ringo and Silkworms

[kokom05lb]

Ok well I've encountered a little road block with my young little Ringo. He loves the silkworms that I got for him. But.... that's all he will eat.So I know that he's not getting his supplements like he should since he just likes the silkworms. I dust just the crickets and even though theres none left in his cage when its bed time, I havent seen him eat them. So would i need to dust the worms too just in case or what should I do?
TIA =)

if he will only eat silkworms, thats ok.
they are a staple food.

just dust tem in stead.

YAY Angel finally ate her silkworms. I guess Ringo is eating his crickets cause there was none in there either

so from my understanding using silkworms only if they will eat only that is ok as long as you dust them? but a varied diet is best
