Ok, I've figured out I have 2 extremely picky eaters.
1) my male, will eat crickets before hornworms. I actually watched him taste a hornworm then chase down a cricket on the opposite side of the 50gal tank. Its funny watching him learn to stalk crickets!!
2) my female, only eats crickets every third day. I'm guessing its her way of saying "crickets are yucky!!" I even reduced the size to half of what she should be eating to tempt her to eat them - didnt work. But she eats hornworms like there is no tomorrow and usually eats them with out hesitation when I place them in the tank.
I'm thinking the female will eat silkworms, but I haven't tried her on them yet. Now to my question, Has anyone seen any kind of feeder quality comparisons from hornworms and silkworms?
Thanks in advance, everyone!!
