I feed them to my bearded dragon, he seems to like them. Ugly little blighters they are. If you keep them too long they turn into black flying things, my dragon likes them like that too, more fun to catch.

I regularly use them for feeding semi aquatic Turtles such as North American and Asian Box turtles. The turtles enjoy foraging for the Calci worms in the substrate.

Thanks, Sounds good, will have to try them, they love mealworms, so should like them.

It takes a good month if not more before they change, so plenty of time to feed them to him.
