Anyone have the percentages of fat and protein and all that. I can see my cham is insane over them, i think hes intrigued by the red, but i want to know how good they are for him and how many i can feed him daily or weekly.

Thanks for any info!

thats how myne started to eat silkworms and mealies! he was afraid of all of them until i feed him butter worms, i also beleive cause of the redish orange that attracted him to eat it. Once he ate that he started to eat silkworms which he never did before, but i dont think its a good staple cause of the fat, but i dont know to much about them sorry

Feed him all you can afford to buy, they're quite good food.

Canadian Feeders is also an excellent place to order them while you're at their site.
