MealwormsMealworms are a popular feeder insect for reptiles, wild birds, chickens, fish, and many other animals. They are high in protein and fat and are easy to maintain. Protein is important for energy, muscle building and cell maintenance. They also contain roughly ±15% fat, useful for absorption of vitamins, fat stores for egg laying, and maintaining body temperature. Mealworms are considered a good food staple for pets.

HornwormsHornworms are caterpillars of large moths that typically have a pronounced horn at the rear. Hornworms (Manduca sexta) are an excellent feeder for bearded dragons, leopard geckos, chameleons, and various other reptiles and pets. Their bright blue/ turquoise color stimulates picky eaters, and they are extremely low maintenance. In addition to being a great source of hydration, they are high in calcium, low in fat, low in chitin, and have an extremely soft exoskeleton so your pet will not have trouble digesting them.

SilkwormsSilkworms are naturally the healthiest insects available for reptiles and many other pets. They’re easy to care for and It is possible for them to go a week or longer without eating (depending on temperature and size). However, feeding them every couple of days will keep them hydrated and healthy, extending the “hold” period or until they start spinning their cocoons. Silkworms are selective feeders that will only consume mulberry leaves or commercially prepared equivalents.
Silkworms don’t have much fat or protein, which means that each worm has a low number of calories. Using them as feeders can help in the weight loss of obese reptiles. |
