So I'm having a lot of trouble keeping Daenerys fed. She came back from the vet with scary high parasite numbers, so I've currently got her on a medication regiment to get her back in order.
That said, I'm searching for a feeder solution. The breeder reared her on small superworms and she loves them, but I am now finding out they are prone to pinworms (which she has) and she is also starting to have trouble digesting them. I gave dubia roaches a shot and she likes them too, but keeping/finding them small enough for her has been a challenge, and I really don't have the space (or desire) to start a colony. Crickets are out of the question. Taking a trip to go pick up feeders every day also isn't an option, so now I'm looking at phoenix worms. Her bloodwork was showing that she was not getting enough calcium despite the fact that I have been dusting her feeders, but the vet believes that is probably the fault of the parasites...so phoenix worms would work very well, if I can get them to work with my lifestyle.
I can't find any information on how long/under what conditions they morph into flies. I really want to have this on lockdown before I give this a shot -- we already have a fly problem in the house because of its humidity and age and I don't want to add to it. Can anyone help me out?
