Crested Geckos and Silkworms???

[FaaFaa]

Has anyone ever offered Silkworms to their cresties? I used to give them to my beardies and was wondering if I could feed them to my cresties.

Look at this link...

Silkworms - The Benefits of feeding your reptile and pet the silkworm

Tell me what you think.

Mine don't like bugs, but I don't think there is anything wrong with feeding them silkies. I used to feed them to my chams, beardies & uroplatus geckos. They are pretty high in Ca+, and all-around a good feeder imo.

i've asked about this too. they seem pretty expensive and hard to keep around, but seem like they would be awesome for them.

I have never had a problem keeping them in the past. I always bought the eggs and hatched them out. But I did follow the instructions very closely. Thanks for the input guys!

hmmm...if they're not bad to keep, then i may wind up trying them.

My cresties will eat some bugs, and one of mine will eat almost anything, but NONE of them liked silkworms.

That's not to say that yours won't, but mine weren't a fan.

That's my fear; that I spend the $$$ on the Silkworms and then NO ONE eats them! IDK what to do. LOL
