[doingtheZIGGYdance]

I am looking in to ordering worms off line any good place out there? Also what is the best worms to feed as far a nutrience. I am feeding my little boy Crickets every day and 2 small mealworms every other day but when he sees the mealworms he cant move fast enough to my hand to eat them. So would like to try other bugs.

Mulberry Farms online is great. I order/have ordered from them, crickets (healthiest ones I've seen) silkworms, butterworms and hornworms. Have been very happy w/them and their service.

Keep in mind Hornworms can get up to 4" (wayyy too big for your 4 month old).. So make sure to buy correct sized worms.

I deal with Coastal Silkworms (eastcoast) they have a west coast operation also. They are fantastic to deal with.

Offering a greater variety of feeders is a great thing to do I would suggest considering silkworms and butterworms

Check out the site sponsors, many of whom sell feeders.
and there's a list of bug vendors here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/171-where-buy-feeders-online.html

i love pheonix worms great for them, bt my guy loves all worms i ordered a worm order tonight getting slik another good for them and available small and supers small aswell. im ordering from mulbery just cause i herd they were good and they have silks and i wanna try silks for my kids. not getting my crix there though looks like they got a weird shipping schedule for crix and i need theem soon no time for confusion. actually getting those from georgia premium crickets whos got a good deal and i know there crickets are great and there super fast on standard delivery. they have supers there scared of theres only because i got little reps right now so i need it to specify small. hope i helped. i have to say 4 months hold off on the butter worms thank god they last awhile in the fridge cause there bigger then i thought. i asked everyone to show me worm sizes but wasnt really answered corectly if i get them soon even if not i tend to make a thread with worm sizes next to a ruler so all us newbies feel beter about the size of the worm were ordering.
ohhh maybe my first blog.... just thinking aloud.
