Very low fat and high moisture, soft-bodied, and generally well accepted. A good option after illness or for a gargoyle that has gone off its MRP for a while and needs a gentle appetite nudge. They require a specific diet (mulberry leaves or artificial chow) and die quickly without it, which makes them harder to keep on hand than dubia or crickets.
