Hornworms & Silkworms arrived!

Postby SFBlueTongue81 » Wed Mar 28, 2012 10:06 pm

Today I received my shipment from Mulberry farms of Silkworm+ Hornworm cups (20-25) worms in each cup.
Ryu chomped down 4 of the Silkworms (1-1.5" long) The hornworms are still too small to eat, but are supposed to be full size in a week or two!
Just wanted to share for anyone who's interested in these as a feeder.
Mulberry farms was fast on delivery, and make it really easy to raise these guys.
Around $25 (US) for both worms cups+ shipping

Your skink is beautiful, and seems pretty wary about you filming him eat. I bet it is cause he is self conscious about being a messy eater.

Haha Thanks everybody.

I love it when they shake their food too ;-)

He cracked me up how he kept checking the camera out, he never does that when it's just me. These little guys are so observant!!
So far he looooves the silkworms, I thought I ordered the medium hornworms I'm not sure why they're so small, but the instructions say they can grow inches in a week so I can't wait to try those out too :-)
