[QUOTE="Hagraven, post: 222534, member: 39019"] Superworms are great! I like using these as an occasional feeder. They're easy to work with, just be careful not to allow them to burrow in your T's enclosure, lest they re-emerge as beetles! I keep mine in a critter keeper with cocofiber. I had been using oats as a substrate for a few months when one day mites decided to take advantage of the grain and set up shop (I can't say if this was a fluke or perhaps they had been attracted to the carrots I left in with my superworms?) Either way, they have lived many months on cocofiber. Also, though I admit I am an over-worrier, I try and offer my feeders organic produce, as I can only imagine foods with pesticides would immediately or overtime end up negatively effecting the health of your feeders, and by extension, your T. Keep in mind, I am still new to all of this, this is just my take. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
