Hey guys, Poncho has always ate crickets and he absolutely LOVES them! But the problem is I'm paying about $15-$20 a week bc he eats so many of them and here lately I have had a lot die. The $15-$20 a week wouldn't be a problem if they didn't die, crickets are just fincky. And honestly I'm tired of messing with them. They smell, they smell...ohh and they smell. Soo my questions is...
What is the BEST feeder worm? He isn't quite long enough for supers (around 13").
I have it narrowed down to hornworms, reptiworms, silkworms, phoneix worms, and butterworms. The only problem is, I am worm dumb. I know zero about any of them except that hornworms are big, silkworms are good for pain relief, phoneix worms are good calcium source, oh and waxworms are like candy bars.
So does anyone with experience PLEASE help. I would also like to try to breed my own eventually to save money so of them, which ones are the easiest to raise? That is less important right now though as I just want to get something for my baby boy to eat. I am going to release what is left of my rancid cricket collection in about 5 minutes. Don't worry, he eats salad like a champ and we have chicken babyfood on standby. He won't go hungry. Thanks in advance y'all are great!
