    If you're looking for something with high calcium and good protein (17% when medium sized, more if larger) and Zero chitin

    I suggest you look up Phoenix worms

    You'll really like what you find!

    They can also be fed more frequently as they are lower in fat (only 9% when medium, which is comparable to crickets averaging 6%) I would venture these could be part of the staple diet and it would be similar to calcium supplementation

    I was actually debating between the phoenix worms and the butterworms. Arent phoenix worms very small though? Like 3 week cricket size? The ones I were looking at already appeared to small for my Pacman. How big do they get?
