Superworms

[HayleyK]

So I'm having trouble getting earthworms in my gardens and in stock around me. Unfortunately the draining section of my worm farm became blocked (that I didn't know about) and we had some heavy rain a few weeks ago. I have been struggling to find worms in my farm and have just realised majority have drowned as they would have fallen through the bottom.

I have superworms readily available. I've heard their shell is softer than meal worms. Do you think they would be okay to feed as I can't find the information online. Axolotls won't take pellets either.

I would not feed Superworms to any amphibian or reptile that doesn't chew it's food. Superworms have strong jaws, and do bite.

I've seen where people have dismissed Superworms eating their way out of an animal's stomach as "a myth" - but I've seen it happen. It isn't a myth. Superworms can kill animals with a slow digestion who swallow them whole.

At least crush the heads!

Yeah no need to get angry. I do cut off their heads and their little feet.

I'm questioning their nutritional value, and if anyone seems to have a better idea on what to feed them as earthworms are not available to me right now.

Nvm. Found it

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be angry.

I'm new here, and I guess I used the wrong "thing."
