The clue is in the title! I want to get George some Goliath worms but have been to both reptile shops around by me and cant find any! The guy in the reptile shop ive not used before said he had never even heard of them?! he even said he goes to european shows and hes not seen them- i described them to him after giving both names?! '' Big green worms that look like caterpillars!!'' he then tried to sell me mealworms and Morio worms- im not sure if they are the same as each other but they arent goliath worms!
On another side George has had a few morio worms but i give them as a treat because of the Chitin being hard to digest- is this right? Also George has decided that he likes locusts more than crickets and after he has eaten locusts and a cricket runs near him he looks at me as if to say ' you think im going to eat that when i can have yummy locusts!?' the guy told me at the reptile shop ~(that didnt know what goliath worms were, and also told me walnut sand was fine) to starve him for 2 days like he does with his EVERY WEEK and then he will go back onto crickets?! im not sure i want george to starve and epecially when i asked how to tell if he was really starving (he said he would be dead!!), i dont want to take the risk i dont think!
So basically i want to treat george like a king and treat him to a goliath worm and dont know where to get them in the midlands, England? help! I did post on the general 'feeders' board but thought this might be a better place
Advice please? x x
