Silkworm

Silkworms are the larval stage of the domestic silk moth and one of the most nutritious feeder insects available. They are soft-bodied, slow-moving, and highly digestible, making them safe for reptiles, amphibians, fish, and even young or delicate animals. Silkworms are often considered a premium feeder due to their high protein, low fat, and excellent calcium content.
