Where to buy feeders?

[LarissaLurid]

Where is a good, nicely priced website for different feeders (silk worms, crickets, mealwoms, nigthcrawlers,etc) where I can buy in bulk? Any recommendations of good places?

I've been looking around, but not too familiar with any sites.

Also, would you recommend feeding red worms at all? Not sure how healthful they are.

Thanks :]

I'm not sure where you live, but I have had good luck joining local herp communities. There are a couple people in my area that will bring in bulk orders and resell it, which is nice because you pay less than pet stores and have better quality feeders but you don't need to buy hundreds to get a decent deal. Might be worth looking into, I can get a much larger variety that way.

Also - if cockroaches are legal there, try getting a colony of discoids or dubias. Super easy to keep and breed and very healthy feeders!

Yea I've heard how great dubias are. There is such a bad rep slapped on them though that my boyfriend would never allow me to have any in the house, never mind raise any or I would. :/ Maybe I can convince him in the future.

Hm, I live in Connecticut, but haven't really heard of any herp communities around here.

If you are looking for dubias at some point, shoot me a PM. We are selling off some of our colonies because they have gotten out of control. I can sell you a starter colony for a lot less than you will pay at an expo. You can get bulk feeders at expos if there are any around (they have listings in Reptiles Magazine of all the reptile expos).

Thanks! Sadly, I am not sure my bf will allow any in the house. I already brought this up with him before and he freaked out about the idea. Everyone thinks one will get out and infest the entire house with thousands of babies.

Actually I'll be going to the White Plains, NY expo this month. :] I went to the last as well and have been excited for the next ever since.

Reptile expos are dangerous and addictive. I attend Hamburg, Reading/Oaks, and the All MD show on a regular basis. Best place to pick up anything reptile related for an awesome price. Have fun!

www.coastalsilkworms.com. The owner John is a great guy, and it is a really good place to buy many types of feeders and other supplies.
