[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 123590, member: 27444"] Wax worms are high in calcium but crickets are a little higher. These levels are not a problem for a T. The theory suggested that feeding a T birds and mice may lead to a problem molting due to calcium intake. A T isnt going to digest a bone to make a huge problem with calcium. I believe this was all just speculation. I'm not sure though. Im far from being a scientist or educated enough to have a opinion on this. Ive just heard discussions in many forums on this and never had anyone had a solid answer. I prefer superworms over wax worms but wax worms are fine as feeders. If you gut load your prey I would avoid calcium just in case. [/QUOTE]
