Well, I received my worm order today and I was excited to see what Rebel and my other lizards would think about the silkworms and hornworms. Well, they were a hit. I wasn't really worried about Fire (baby beardie) because he will eat anything. I put the worms in Rebels worm bowl (without touching them lol) and held the bowl where Rebel could see inside. Now, he normally runs from me but he didn't today. He didn't hesitate...he ate one right after the other until all were gone. I also gave him a few phoenix worms. I was so happy that he ate while I was holding his bowl. I really wanna try hand feeding but I'm not sure I could hold a silk or hornworm without freaking out. lol I'm a chicken when it comes to bugs....:D
 
We can't get hornworms in uk but I have started breeding silks. It took me a while to handle them. I know the feeling when they snatch them. I do hand feed them , just remember to wash hands first.:)
