General Information: Phoenix worms are the larvae of the black soldier fly. Developed bt Dr. Craig Sheppard.  Very high in calcium, and can be feed as a staple.  There is no need to dust these worms. Phoenix worms are packed with calcium and phosphorus. Their high calcium content and low fat, makes it an ideal feeder for gravid females and young reptiles.

Housing: To be kept in the same container they were shipping in with the lid kept on

Substrate: The sawdust that the worms are contained will suffice; no other bedding needs to be added. You can add a few drops of water to the bedding to keep it moist. Do not add too much water, as this can create mold and fungal growth because of high humidity levels in an enclosed area.

Feeding: You do not need to feed the phoenix worms. They will be fine for several weeks.

Temperature: Keep the worms at room temperatures. Do NOT refrigerate them because they have the longest shelf life at 60-70 degrees.

Breeding: N/A
