Just got Butterworms for the first time

[AReptile]

I only got about 25 of them so they will probably last a few days between my crew lol. But if I were to get more in the future what can they be fed/gutloaded with? Also does anyone know if they bite? Cuz if not then I can hand feed them without problems

i got about 60 for one cham back in april and you just refergirate them at 35-45 degrees and they last up to 2 months no food necessary, but they do lose their nutritional value as the weeks pass by.

i think they only eat the Chilean Trevo plant.. But yeah just keep them in the fridge then take a few out before you feed and warm them up. I have never had one bite .. i use them to hand feed they are a great way to get ur little buddies to like you more .

They can be gutloaded with soft (steamed and cooled) butternut squash, among other things. If kept in a cool location their functions will slow, and thus loose less of their existing nutritional value. They do not bite.
