Phoenix worms??

How well do your chams like Phoenix worms?
I have never bought them before

Mine love them.

Mine wouldnt eat the worms, too small, but loved when they turned into wasp sized fliers. if you can frowns on eating 1/2" crickets, they might not eat the worms.

Mine love Phoenix worms, they also love the black solider flies they turn into!

My smaller chams love Phoenix worms... a jackson and a baby panther. They attack these worms as soon as I drop them in their cups. Their high levels of calcium are great for growing juveniles.

That's why I want to try them on my 2 little panthers, the high calcium content.
How do you get them to turn into flies? Do you just leave them alone, or do you need to feed them anything special?

I just bought 200 of them from Josh's frogs

There's no need to feed anything special. Mine just get some bug grub flakes and butternut squash.

Thanks, I will pick up some squash tomorrow when I shop
What's "bug grub flakes"? You mean like, dry breakfast cerial?

I'm trying to get Zeke to eat them but no luck so far. Look them up on google and you can use them as a great compost worm. If Zeke takes a liken to them I make do that this Spring.

After mine started turning black then I put them into a container with a screen top so that the sawdust stuff could dry out. Within a couple weeks I had some flies.

It's a kind of bran flake with other nutrients. The phoenixes don't eat much of it really but I use a bit in most of my insect boxes as a kind of edible substrate. http://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/rep...m=googlebase&gclid=CNWDsb-q2LMCFQzKtAodph0A2A
