Phoenix Worms

[MetaNemesis]

Should I dust my phoenix worms with the Herpivite multivitamin and the Rep-Cal calcium with vitamin d3, or do they pretty much have most of the nutrients in them that I don't need to dust them at all?

I wouldn't dust them as they are pretty well balanced on their own.

If so I'd still keep the multivitamin regimen (especially if the dragon that doesn't eat it's salad). Calcium is probably OK to skip on them.

Thanks Cooper and Tater.

what about wax worms and super worms? do those need to be dusted for calc D3? i have just been doing it to the crickets.
I have been looking for phoenix worms locally and no luck. anyone know where they can be purchased (reputable source)? I live in california if they makes a difference.

I avoid feeding wax worms because they are very fatty. But I would dust both of them as you would with crickets. I dust supers when I feed them. Mulberry Farms carries Reptiworms and they are in California.

Well good to know about the wax worms... As I was looking to fatten up a bit. Karma seemed to be on the "light" side .
Still learning about all the foods to feed (using the nutritional link) and not sure what a reptiworm is... But I will go check it out.. Thank you

It's okay to fed them, but think of them like lizard candy

Reptiworms are a brand name for black soldier fly larvae, same as pheonix worms and calci-worms.
