Does anyone use these as a feeder bug? Just wondering what you feed them had if you keep them the same as meal worms , was thinking of getting some for Jeff since they are higher in calcium and lower in fat. Plus the meal worms are so messy and are doing my head in

I feed all my feeder bugs on fresh fruit and veg daily I keep them in a warm dark cupboard too and the calci worms seem to breed like mad. I give some of the babies to my crestie from tie to time

cheers,I was getting confused as some said not to feed them and it went against every thing I know about gut loading. My other bugs get fresh fruit and veg just wanted to make sure it was the same for the calci's :-)

As far as I remember they do not need feeding and last 3-4 weeks. But order large as they are teeny x
