I don't see why not. I try to get my tegu to eat a variety of worms. He has even had silkworms and loved them.

He has no interest in superworms though

I will try them and see what happens....It should be interesting, he won't eat crickets or mealies. Is that even normal? :roll:

How old/long is he?? At some point they lose interest in the little jumpy things and want MEAT!

Phoenix worms are way too small, even for a hatchling. It'd be a waste of money of money in my opinion.

He is 7 months old and almost 30" long..He has never eaten a cricket or a mealie since I got him. I got him when he was 1 month and have offered them....he won't touch them.
He loves gr turkey, scallops, shrimp, crab, chicken, hb eggs and an occasional fruit. He also loves his fuzzies...he gets 1 a week

He must have some stinky poo with all the seafood he eats! :mrgreen:

They are a great feeder but too small to get any interest from a tegu (and since I can't breed em they wouldn't make my list anyhow).
