!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BUY THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[demiblood]

Hey, where can I buy things online,
For example,

Crickets - Maggots - Caterpillars
where can I find silkworms? and can I even get horn worms at all?

None of my local pet shops or even bait and tackle shops DON'T carry anything except crickets and red
worms, (Pet stores carry meal worms and recommend them but I won't feed my bearded more than 1 a wk since they're not good for him) and my beardie doesn't like red worms / won't eat them

I know I can get phoenix worms @ phoenixworms.com
I'd really like to give him a variety of insects to NOM NOM NOM on (he hates salads still and will only eat them if I starve him @ b-fast which I won't do b/c he's still a juvenile)

I wouldn't recommend buying anything from a bait shop - they are bred specifically to be used as bait and will probably not contain all the right nutrients. If you are in the States, I believe the site for hornworms is Greatlakeshornworm.com. They also do superworms. You can get silkworms from Mulberryfarms.com. Silkworms and hornworms are very good feeder insects as they are soft bodies. Saying that, the pictures of the hornworms I have seen are HUGE so I wouldn't recommend them if your beardie is a baby. Small silkworms and phoenix worms are great staple insects so I would stick to these until your beardie is a bit bigger
