cutworms?

Postby Mo » Mon Oct 22, 2007 5:24 am

Has anyone heard of these and given them to their blue-tongue? I found them on http://www.silkworm-supplies.co.uk/WITLF2.htm. Apparently nutritionally similar to silkworms. They are a UK native, but sounds like you get them all over, so maybe not very well known...

I've got a male Irian Jaya, he's about 3, called Moses (Mo for short!) I've had him since he was 18 months. Thanks, I think I'll try the cutworms.

:chin: The only cutworms I have ever heard of are the ones that root around in the garden and destroy new plants. Never heard of them as a choice to feed out to pets. Oh and :welcome: Mo.
