Silkworms are naturally the healthiest insects available for reptiles and many other pets. They’re easy to care for and can survive for up to a week without feeding or until they start spinning their cocoons.
Silkworms are selective feeders that will only consume mulberry leaves or commercially prepared equivalents. This implies that, unlike feeders with more minor dietary requirements, their nutritional composition is generally predictable.
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.
Silkworms can be a healthy feeder for pets, including fish, reptiles, and other animals.
Our silkworms are available for pickup and local delivery only.

Silkworms can be a healthy feeder for pets, including fish, reptiles, and other animals:
- Silkworm pupae are a natural food that can help fish grow faster and improve the shine of their scales. They can also simulate the nutrient-dense variety of food that fish would find in the wild.
- Reptiles
- Silkworms are a nutritious feeder with high levels of calcium and vitamin B, which can help reptiles' health. Feeding reptiles a variety of feeders, including silkworms, can also help prevent them from getting bored and refusing to eat.
- Other pets
- Silkworms are low in fat and contain more calcium and protein than other common pet feeders. They can also help injured pets recover faster, and their high protein content can help heal and grow injured tissues. Silkworms are also easy to catch, soft-bodied, and slow-moving, so they can't bite or harm animals.
- In addition to high levels of Vitamin A, silkworms have also been found to contain high levels of the Vitamin B Complex – all of which play a major role in reptile health. An additional advantage that silkworms offer is the modest exoskeleton which allows optimal nutritional absorption.
