Darn this pond....

Just a quick question

I can't find anywhere (shop/website) in the UK that sells hornworms or silkworms

I would really like to try as I know they are good and to add some variety.

You guys in the States are so lucky

Try here: http://www.butterworms.co.uk/index.html Not sure if they have silkworms in stock at the moment though. They also stock Phoenix Worms (aka Calciworms/Calcigrubs). I've ordered from them before, but Lily wasn't too fussed with either of these types of worm!

£5.50 for 25 silkworms! bit pricy......

AND THEN FOOD!!!! £4.50!!!!!

That's the only place that I know that sells them. I agree, they are expensive! I bought some to try and get Lily eating when she was receptive, but she wasn't too keen after the first few. The silkworms did have sweet little faces though - their dark spots looked like eyes! I thought they were cute! Have you tried your cham with superworms/morio worms? Lily absolutely loves the newly shed ones!

You might ask about hornworms also, though I beleive they are considered pests in Britain.

I know there not cheap. Every time i order silk worms i get 50 with food for about $20. CRAZY!!!

Silk worms are never cheap. :\ I can't buy them because of this.
