Silk worms

Hi, how many silk worms should a male 2.5 month old veiled eat a day? Im currently feeding him up to 15 1/4" gut loaded and dusted crickets a day.

Thank you

Well, I would just give a few...like 3-5. Too many and he’ll have loose poo. I use silkies for hand feeding to build trust. Put one on your hand and hold it a few inches away from him and just wait. Initially it may take a lot of waiting, but eventually he’ll learn some trust.
