Silkworms vs. Crix

[Kaianuanu]

I was wondering what you guys thought of me replacing crickets with silkworms as my staple food. Do these need to be dusted? I read that they are much more nutritious that crickets and mealworms

Silkworms are great; high in protein and great calcium : phosphorous ratio. I wouldn't use them exclusively though, variety is always best. You'll still need to dust them with calcium and multivitamins.
