[whereswaldo]

I'm really interested in what people have to say about this. I was also thinking about ordering the pheonix worms and about to post this same question.

Thanks for getting this started.

They are excellent feeders and he could have 6 or so daily. I wouldn't get too many though because when they get old they turn into flies.

I know they're high in calcium but none of my chams liked them. After eating one or two they had no interest in them ever again. Not sure if they taste weird or what. Plus they look the most like true maggots of any of the worms and they grossed me out...butterworms don't need to be fed, can be stored in the fridge for a long time, actually have a sweet smell about them and are super high in calcium too. I like those better.

 

[whereswaldo]

only problem with those is size, i got 100 for 6 bucks figure why not try, ill lit u know if he likes them. the maggot thing im trying not to really think about perhaps some tweesers may be in the future.

I agree with previous posters. They're an awesome feeder when they hatch into a black soldier fly. Target practice for the babies!

I was thinking about getting these since my guy is still pretty small and wanted to add some variety to his diet. It's good to know that other chams didn't have much interest in these. I may just wait till he's a bit bigger and just grab wax worms when I get crickets at LLL. Luckily they are only 10 minutes from my house.

I didn't think about using them as a flying feeder. Has anyone used them like this and did their cham like them?

tim waldo loved them loved loved but he likes worms alot so i get to feel like im giving him a treat guilt free!
