Silkworms

[nosymitsio]

Just want to know if im to feed my baby panther silkworms instead of crickets do i still gutload them? and when and how much would i supplement them with vits and calcium? I will be giving him a couple of small locust to keep him active and maybe the od roach so would i dust them rather than the silkworms??

Crickets need to be the main staple IMO. But I feed my baby panther crickets and silkworms as the staple. Everything eles would be considered treats IMO, thats what the breeder told me. No, you do not guload the silkworms, they only eat their chow or malberry leaves.

Hope this helps

You really aren't able to gutload silkworms as they only eat mulberry leaves. As for dusting them, I am unsure if you calcium powder will stick to their bodies. If their texture is anything like superworms it won't stick very well, but you can try.
