does anyone here order their live feeders from mulberryfarms.com? if so what is your opinion on them?

in your opinions what are the best live feeders for leos, besides roaches, my mom hates roaches:biggrin:

oh and i've read that its hard for leos to digest meal worms(obviously because of the meat to shell ratio), so this means no buy mealies? ;-)

Mealworms are fine, my babies are all brought up on mealworms. I have ordered silkworms in the past from Mulberry without any problem. My preference has been to order feeders from as local a source as possible to minimize shipping deaths.

Mealworms are "ok" but they aren't very nutrious and they have been known to cause impaction. So, I personally wouldn't use them as a primary food source. Other people do, and that's their decision. But I try to provide the best that I can for my animals. And to me, that means a variety of food sources.
