I have a baby panther....

Hi, what are silk worms like...are they like baby super worms and do i just set them loose at the bottom of my cage....My cageis 1x1x3 high.

Where can I get fruit flies??

How old is the baby?

You can usually start new born panthers on 14 day old crickets. Pinheads are a waste of time unless you are working really small species like Brookesia and Rhampholian.

With the silkworms only put in as many as the Cham will eat. Leave the rest on the food provided with the silkworms.

Hi, he is almost 2 months...he is about 1.5 inches long without tail.

I feed him 1/4 inch crix, but they die too quickly

[CarlC]

I would look at the way you are caring for the crickets. By that age they are less prone to easy die off.
Are you keeping them to cool?

[rullom]

should they be cool?

[CarlC]

No they should be warm. You get the best life out of them if you can keep them in the low to mid 80's.

A good nutritious diet of grains and veggies and some heat is all they need.
