Please keep in mind that this forum you are in is for Leopard gecko specific feeding questions.
If you have questions pertaining to how to care for, raise, or gutload your feeders, go to our Feeders, Food, and Nutrition forum that covers all aspects of keeping, breeding, and feeding insects where most of these topics have already been covered.

I have read on a lot of websites that Butter worms are high in fat(5%fat) and should be a treat only? If that is the case, then why feed them crickets(6%fat)? Looking at the charts on nutrition it appears that butter worms would be the healthier of them all?
Can you feed Butter worms and tiny horn worms as their main diet each night? What is the best combo of "worms" to use as a daily feeder (no crickets)(and I live in Canada so NO roaches either)? and how many of each per feeding?

Tr, i would suggest creating a new thread in food and feeding issues. This is a sticky post (meaning it stays at the top of the subforum for easy access to valuable information). They are not usually intended for questions. If you want you can link this thread to show where you got your information from.

No need to condone illegal activity, specially when there are other options.

Roaches are illegal here, plain and simple. A few years ago somebody got jail time for a few hundred roaches, many others got hefty fines.

I in no way condone/condoned, supported,suggested,or partook in anything illegal in the great state of Canada.

Leopard1, There is no such thing as "the Great State of Canada". Canada is a country. Period. We have 10 provinces and 3 territories.
