So i was told by the petshop lady that silkworms die quickly if left without food for a couple hours. My bearded dragon ate 4 of the 10 i bought and now i'm left with 6 silkworms and there are no mulberry trees where i live! Is there anything i can feed the silkworms to keep them alive? They were quite expensive! any help would be appreciated!

in an emergency (no food) you can feed carrots however this will disrupt their ability to cocoon and they will eventually just die off. when fed carrots they turn an orangish color.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
