They're free so I thought I'd give em' a try.

Anyone? Lol, If you can't see the link, or just don't want to click on it, they are black soldier fly larvae.

Ew, gross!
Aside from being icky, I can't see any reason why they wouldn't be okay. I don't know for sure, but I would feel safe giving them to my critters. Given that mice eat crickets and mealworms, I don't see how this would be much different. And I'm sure they wouldn't hesitate to eat this in the wild.

I think I've seen someone else here mention they've given these to their mice. I don't see why they wouldn't be safe. A good feeder insect, sometimes called Phoenix worms or calci-worms. I used to get them (live) when I had crested geckos. My leo was never much interested though so I don't buy them anymore.

Yay. I ordered some too. I figured the crabs will eat them if the mice don't.

Re: Are these safe?
awwww! cute!
I have to say I've not yet got the courage to feed mealworms to Colin...they creep me out for some reason...the wild birds would also like them...but I just can't bring myself to get any!

Can't beat the video testimony of mice chowing down on these grubs! Imogene loves to eat freeze-dried mealworms, crickets and grasshoppers so I just ordered this sample bag. As CallaLily said, the hermit crabs will always eat them, too, so no waste.

Re: Are these safe?
Surprisingly, meal worms don't freak me out at all but for some reason these things really do. I'm going to order a pack for my girls and I guess that I'll just have to suck it up. If they don't like it, I can always put it in the bird feeders!

They're a hit here too. With the dog as well.
I left the bag on the counter and I'm guessing one of the cats knocked it off because I found my Min Pin had it ripped open and was chowing down.

Lol! My dog wanted some too. I gave her one to try thinking she would think it was icky, instead she ate it and followed me around begging me for more.CallaLily wrote:They're a hit here too.

Ok, is there a free bag somewhere for me that I should be claiming?
*****edit: I found it and ordered it
Also, worms don't gross me out too much but I don't like the freeze dried crickets. The mice love them, too. It's so gross to watch them hold those big 'ol crickets and chow down (*barf)

Re: Are these safe?
Lol! My dad recently gave me a few freeze dried crickets for the mice, because I contacted a company and they sent him a sample of reptile food, which had the crickets in it. The thing that freaked me out was the eyes. Without looking at the eyes I was fine with holding them. It's like I feel like they are looking at me and I almost feel sorry for themscaredymouse wrote:Ok, is there a free bag somewhere for me that I should be claiming?
