I feed my beardie roaches as her staple, but want to suppliment her w/ some worms and my geckos and hedgehog like worms as well, but through mulberry farms which I have gotten really nice worms and roaches its spendy. Wondering if there is a cheaper place. I am paying $20 for 100 butterworms, which only my hedgehog will eat. I pay $10 for 15-20 silkworms or hornworms which all will eat, so they don't last long at all. Any suggestions?? I also need to order roaches, hopefully just 1 more time then my breeder babies should finally be big enough and hopefully my breeders will continue to multiply!! BTW, how often do you need to rotate in new breeders?? Right now I usually feed them to my critters before they get to adult size so its the same breeders in there, producing more young.

Yes I did read it but she is out and I told her to PM me when she has them. I know this may not be politically correct but I still need to feed my beardies. If you know of another reliable retailer I would be glad to check them out.

I saved to favorites the hornworm place but does the other place sell silks. I raise dubia's so I don't use crickets.

I choose not to buy silks from mulberry farm really only because shipping is a killer for me. I buy from coastalsilkworms. Greatlakeshornworm is good for hornworms too.

Yes they are some of the most expensive feeders. The cheapest way to get them IMO is to get them as eggs (silks and horns) and raise them fIt's even cheaper if you have a mulberry tree handy that you can give them the fresh leaves rather than the chow. Georgiabugs.com also sells silks and horns i think
