butterworms good staple?

[NegativeCreep]

I have read that butter's have a high calcium content. Are they as calcium rich as phoenix worms? Would you still need to dust them with calcium?

Thanks!

Do you beardie slaves think the leaves from my tomato plants (no fertilizer) would be a good veggie green for my 5 month old bd???

Also, are butterworms soft, or like wax worms? Again, for my 5 month old.

No! The greens from tomato plants are highly toxic. http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pro_apcc_toxic_tomatoplant Don't feed them to your bd or to the worms that you are planning to feed him.

Butterworms are soft bodied like a silkworm.

Butterworms can cost you a pretty penny. Mulberry farms list 50 for $13.95 plus shipping.
I've been using them as my staple so I order the 250 ct from a bait shop for $30 even. They're http://www.beaverbait.com/default.asp I've had no problems with them. A 50 ct from them will cost you $12 w/free shipping.

thats exactly what i do! i just bought 250 and I've never had any poblems. until i see a problem i will continue using them, because you get 200 more worms on there for the same price and free shipping.
