Butterworms

thanks syn i am about to by some butterworms then, ya i knw wax worms are fatty so i was trying to avoid that thank you again
 
When comparing them to silkworms, mealworms, crickets, and waxworms, they have the highest fat content and the highest calcium content. They are lower in protein though to all the above feeders.

their nutritonal info is different than the info I got off the silkworm website. I wonder who is right and who is wrong? It says butterworms are the fattiest feeder on the silkworm website. ????? fat %kcal? Maybe that is different than just fat%.?

It could be biased because they mainly sell silkworms, who knows? Ask for more specifics. If they can't give them, or how they got the info, don't trust it.
