New Diet Info

I recently began searching for a way to cut back the trips to the pet store. I have been very cautious about ordering feeder insects online because when I have I ended up getting more dead ones than live. Im talking about crickets. I also wanted to try and order in a large quantity instead of small. I found a site that is cheap and their is free shipping. www.wormman.com
I like what they offer. I ordered some kind of new worm that is supposed to be very high in calcium. Its called a phoenix worm. I have received my order and lets just say I am very pleased with my shippment. I also orderd 500 superworms. My shipment was received in a resonable amount of time. When I got my order I opened the box of superworms to find a large cloth bag filled with oat bedding and superworms. I was pleased to see that they took real care in my shipment as to see that nothing dies. I couldnt be any more happy.
Here is a link for the phoenix worms.

My Leopard gecko loves the PHX worms and they are really high in calcium. It even shows a comparison of how much more calcium they contain than a mealworm and superworm.

Phoenix worms lasted only about a week. I dont know if I killed them or if they just dont last long at all.

Sorry they didn't last long for you. That site say's they have a long shelf life and only reguire some drops of water from time to time? Did you write back and tell them? Just wondered what they have to say about it?

[zachbaker]

No I actually didnt write them but I think I kept them in to high of humidity. I keep my Reptile room around 80% humidity. They are kinda small. my gecko had trouble spotting them.
