How should i feed my cham

[Spags]

I feed my 3 month old veiled 12 cricks a day powdered in calcium. twice a month i give d3 and twice a month i give multivites. Should i add in silkworms and other prey items. if so where do i get them?

Well variety is also nice. My Karma ate one silkworm and then never went near another one, lol. At the pet store you can get wax worms which Karma loves. Also butter worms are a nice treat, he goes crazy for them.

Yes small silkworms would be great! I get mine from Coastal Silkworms and Mulberry Farms. Last I checked they were both out.

Tracking down those silkworms can be rough! And when I do find them...the shipping is always so much more than the worms themselves! $15 shipping on a 10 oz container?! What the heck!

Buy silk worm eggs. Shipping is free at Coastal. I just ordered some eggs and 500 eggs including shipping (mail) is $12.98.

They hatch in about two weeks, depending on the temps. They grow fast.

I have no idea where you're seeing free shipping. On a $9.98 order for 250 eggs, the cheapest is $8 for USPS shipping. Maybe I'm missing something?

Also if you live somewhere that the humidity fluctuates like here in Ohio.. Silkworms die off fast.. Even Linda from lindasgonebuggie told me she has trouble keeping then alive in Indiana.. I buy worms and within a week all dead
