No! Do not gutload or feed the phoenix worms anything. They don't need anything. They are a ready to go feeder! And besides don't need any other added nutrients because they are one of the highest nutritional value feeder you can get! You aren't supposed to. Just leave them alone and store them at around 50-60 degrees for the longest shelf life, but do not refrigerate. Where'd you buy them from? I'm surprised that the website u went to buy them from did not have a care sheet on there tellin all about these worms and what to do and not to do. Most do. And every site that sells them will say not to. (well, every single one i have seen anyways) ...And most have a nutritional comparison chart on their site aswell, to compare the analysis of different feeders, and phoenix worms, most of the time, are the highest ones on there.

Yeah! Glad to hear this. Now they'd better like them since I ordered over 400 . . . lol . . and they are not cheap.

No, deffinately NOT cheap at all... lol...

Us "Po' Folk" stick to our crickets, mealworms, and superworms... and can occasionally afford them as a treat maybe once every 3 months or so, IF work gives us a bonus... lmao
