Where can I buy silk worms

[jrog]

Can anyone please tell me a good website to get silk worms or roaches from.

Also I want to switch from crickets to roaches for my beardies main diet. Would this
be a good diet? If so can I just switch completely or make the change slowly

I use Mulberry Farms for silkworms and i get my roaches from Sunshine Dragons. Both extremely good people to do business with.

As far as switching to roaches, have you done your roach research? Do you know which one is the better one and how to care for them? You'll find it soooo much easier and less smelly than crickets. I never thought i'd say, that i love roaches. Except for the fact that if you're not really careful you will have escapees. I have dubias, which i think are the best, and a few of them have escaped and i've found them in different places in the house. Gross. Changed a few things and hopefully that won't happen again.

I have NEVER had a beardie refuse a roach but you never know. I would buy 100 first just to make sure and in the morning when they're really hungry i would start off with the roach and see what happens. As long as he'll take them there is no reason why you couldn't just switch him right over.

Thank you so much!

I have done a little research, I heard they are easier than crickets. I will do some more research on how to take care of them, but would you suggest that I start him off with the dubias roaches?
