    Here's where we get the silk worms Mulberry Farms - Silkworms and other premium feeder insects and they do get big, but like you said, nothing like horn worms. They creep me out!

    I drove about an hour to a herp only pet store yesterday and seen they had butter worms. The lady said 12 or 15 came in a container for $5.30. I decided to buy a container. I was pretty surprised how little they were, but then again I never seen butter worms before. When I got home I was eager to feed my little guys to see if they would take them. As usual my tomato frog took them no problem she is such an aggressive eater she has almost gotten my finger quite a few times! My pacman didn't even bother trying one. He used to be such a good eater too now he is like skiddish around me and won't feed from my tongs anymore =( My american toads also took them no problem. There was some pretty tiny ones in the container so I gave my new green tree frog a go to see if he/she would eat one which he/she did not. I also gave my baby leopard geckos each one and They seemed to really enjoy them also. From what I counted I only got around 8 worms my container a little disappointed. I'm just happy I gave my frogs some variety. I have really been working on providing a larger food choice. These passed 3 weeks I have been feeding my little guys earth worms, crickets, horn worms, and now butter worms. I don't mess with mealworms for the simple fact I hear they can chew through the inside of my frogs and No deal Howie am I going to take that chance. The pet store also carried dubia roaches too for $1.25 which I thought wasn't too bad. I pay a dollar per hornworm so i'm pretty use to it =) I wanted to get my tomato frog one because I knew she would eat it no problem, but they all seem too big.
