The problem here is that I’m in Canada so I’m a tad more restricted as what I can get for feeders. Basically it’s crickets, BFSL, mealworms of the different sizes and butter or wax worms. The silkworms are $2.47 each and horn worms are $3.99 each !! So the silk and horn are going to be few...
So Antwon has decided that crickets don’t agree with his palate any longer and is refusing to eat them. He loves the BSFL and only wants to eat them as well as he will take waxworms, silk worms or superworms. (I only give him one of them a day for a treat)

I can’t believe how much my plants are growing in Antwon’s house!! In two weeks they have really sprouted up! My hibiscus is blooming two flowers a day!!

Thanks! Good to know, but all those breeders are on the east coast and I’m on the west end. I can’t afford to pay $20 for 15 small discoid plus shipping!!!
Shipping is approx another $25 😟
