Can Juvie eat Phoenix Worms?

[baxterlf]

My little one does not seem to like crickets at all. He just ignores them but he loves greens and phoenix worms. Is it safe to just feed him the worms and greens. He is 9 weeks old. I'm worried he will starve without something other than crickets to eat.

i use phoenix worms everyday for breakfast. crix for the dinner. im sure they could be used evey meal, but they are expensive and it takes alot of them to fill them up. but there great.

We will keep trying to get him to eat the crickets but I wanted a back up plan in case he holds out.

We're pleased to report that Phoenix Worms(R) have gone GREEN and are now listed as a staple food item on the Beautiful Dragons nutritional chart! Let the head bobbing and glass dancing begin ...

Could someone help me figure out what I'm doing??

Our Luther is 2-1/2 months old, weighs approx. 60 grams, 10-1/2 inches.

He currently consumes 50-80 crickets a day (3/8-1/2") To cut back no the crickets a little and give him variety, I am considering feeding Phoenix worms. I'm thinking the Medium sized Phoenix would be the right size?

I'm rather new at this and getting ready to order I guess the 400 ct.

Do most people feed the Phoenix just once a day? then another feeder at the 2nd feeding?

I'm afraid if I start the Phoenix worms, he'll go OFF crickets! I don't want that to happen so I would probably just do the Phonex as a treat. Do they last a long time?

Thanks for your patience with all my questions!

Phoenix Worms have no significant difference in the size between medium and large. My sales are 60% large, 40% medium. The biggest benefit of the Phoenix Worm is it has 8,555 Parts Per Million (PPM), compared to 345PPM in a cricket. Most reptiles that stop eating a particular feeder can be led back to that feeder by hunger...

Variety is extremely important, have you tried butter worms, silk worms, or horn worms? when there is variety, hunger strikes seem to go away. I guess you and I would get bored of the same food every day...

Our little guy was 60 days old yesterday, and I ordered him some Phoenix Worms for his birthday. I am pleased to report that they were worth every pretty penny- watching him gobble those suckers up was so much fun, he was like a kid in a candy store. Seriously, I've never seen him so excited, and hours after they were gone, he was back in his dish throwing his salad around hunting for more. Even *eating* some of it. We are definitely hooked on the Phoenix Worms.

If they ever go public, I am sooo buying stock in that company.

Nick, excuse me for my ignorance What does part per million mean? Does it have to do with nutrition (If I had to guess).
