Yes, they're all safe for your beardie. I'm sure she'll enjoy the variety.

Shelf life all depends on how much she usually eats, just be sure to get them out of the heat as soon as they're delivered if they're not held at the post office for you. Superworms feel like they last forever, so long as you keep them in appropriate worm bedding and provide a source of hydration such as sliced vegetables or other greens. The others will last a few weeks on their own, just be mindful of the hornworms (and to a lesser extent, the silkworms) which will grow very quickly to a size that may pose a choking hazard to your beardie.

SHE'S EATING!!!!!

Just got our shipment in from Mulberry Farms (got the baby snack pack) and we put a few of everything in her dish and she's chowing down like we've been starving her for weeks! :lol: Hopefully she will keep this up!

Wow, that was fast! Did the package come to your house or was it held at the post office? Have been considering ordering the same package as it seems like a good way to offer a variety and see what is enjoyed most.

it got held at the postoffice, if you tell mulberry too, they slap a sticker on it that says DO NOT DELIVER CALL FOR PICKUP and has your phone number on it. everything came in decent shape except the silkworm cups were banged up cause of post office manhandling. thehorn worms are tiny, gonna have to let them grow a little, and my allie loves the micro supers.

I'm so glad you posted this because I really wanted to get that pack for my girl now that she has gone from dragon to cow in less than three days, but I'm wondering how big were the silk worms when they arrived? I can tell the horn worms look tiny in the pictures but the silkies not so much.
thanks!

the silkies are mostly mixed size, most of them are 3/4-1 inch tho. the horn worms were tiny when they came, even with a few eggs in the tub, they grew a bit since yesterday, im figuring by tmrw they should be a decent size for her. i fed her some ofthe babys today, shes a pig, so im gonna let those get a little bigger. she tore up the silkies, and loves the micro supers.

thanks for the reply! I think I'll get that pack next week and hope she likes everything.
