Dead Phoenix worms?

[krazylexi]

Is it ok to feed my 2 month beardie dead phoenix worms.

It should be fine they just have less protein then living ones

Some have black stuff in them, is that normal?

 

[brittani299]

Is the black stuff on the worms or in the container?

 

[krazylexi]

in the worms

I would toss them. It could be mold on them

I actually read on the Phoenix worms website that the black in them is not harmful, and that ones that are turning/have turned black actually have MORE calcium than the regular ones. Might want to double check that, but I think i remember it being in the Q&A on their website!
