I was wondering if live silkworms (Bombyx mori) would be a good feeder for salamanders, mudpuppies especially. I got a rearing set for them and plan on breeding the adults, they produce a lot of offspring so it would be a plentiful food source. The worms are actually caterpillars and eat some "silkworm chow" that they came with. I think it's some mixture of mulberry leaves and other nutrients. Mulberry is the only food source so they would be non-toxic. Also, I've seen them for sale at online herp-food places.
