Sorry folks, but what the heck are "phoenixworms" and "superworms"???
I can imagine the latter to be Zophobas, but these trivial names just gimme headaches.... :-) Greetings from Hamburg Sven Vogler ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lyle Puente" To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [gecko]Phoenix worms Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2008 12:54:51 -0400 You can also try using super worms and crickets. I feed mine a high percentage of crickets. I keep bins of super worms and pick out the fresh sheds. They are white and very soft.If they have trouble learning to catch crickets you can put them in a bowl or pinch the hind legs.Some of mine like silk worms, few like goliath worms ( tomato horn worms )Lyle Lyle PuentePresidentGlobal Gecko Associationhttp://www.gekkota.org http://www.MyBrothersBanned.comhttp://www.myspace.com/MyBrothersBanned On Jul 20, 2008, at 12:20 PM, Diane Rudesal wrote: Thanks very much!

I didn't gut load them but I did dust them. Evil Neo was happy and I had no problems. I hope this is helpful. In a message dated 7/19/2008 6:18:14 P.M.

Are Phoenix Worms a safe substitute? Ifso, what size would an adult leopard gecko need (small, medium orlarge)? Also, the website (www.phoenixworm.com) states that gutloadingis not necessary with them -- is this accurate? And would they need tobe dusted with the Repashy Calcium + ICB, as i've been doing with mymealworms, or would that give them an OD of calcium, since the PhoenixWorms are higher in calcium (again, according to the website)? Thanks for your help.
