| Protein | 9.3% |
| Fat | 1.1% |
| Moisture | 82.7% |
| Ca:P ratio | 0.075 |
Lowest fat of any common feeder and very high moisture content. Soft-bodied, easy to digest, and safe for dragons of most ages in appropriately sized portions. Should supplement rather than replace higher-protein staples like dubia. They require a specific diet (mulberry leaves or artificial chow) and die quickly without it, making them harder to keep in bulk than roaches.
