A practical size for young and mid-sized insect eaters. These approximately 1/2-inch
Bombyx mori offer a soft-bodied feeder option with calm movement, making portioning and supervised feeding straightforward.
Keep the worms supplied with appropriate mulberry-based chow and monitor them as they grow; their size can change quickly under warm conditions.
Choose this size when
- Your animal has moved beyond hatchling-size prey
- You want a slow-moving feeder that is easy to present
- You can maintain fresh food and a clean, dry rearing container
Keeper note: Select prey size for the individual animal and follow species-specific feeding guidance.
