"Great or picky eaters, but also overpriced. I give 5 stars for the product but only 1 star for the price. You can purchase Exotic Nutrition Silkworms in a can from their web site and is is half the price."
"I thought I try this for the high protein but my Leopard Gecko had 0 interest. Not sure if appliable to all geckos but mine will only eat living insects, wont even sniff something out of can."

If your pet is a picky eater or prefers live food, this may not be the best option. For pets that enjoy canned food, it's worth a try, but be prepared for potential waste if your pet doesn't like it.
