Live silkworms are a nutritious feeder insect commonly offered to reptiles, amphibians, birds, and insect-eating fish. They are known for their soft bodies and naturally high moisture content, making them an easy-to-digest feeder that many animals readily accept.
Silkworms can be a great addition to a varied feeding rotation and are often well accepted by reptiles that prefer slower moving prey. Their soft bodies make them easier for many animals to consume compared to harder-shelled feeder insects.
Silkworm sizes may vary depending on supplier availability and shipment timing. Specific sizes cannot be guaranteed at the time of purchase.
