He even started turning a full circle to get away from the worm, its now been since Sunday since he ate, which was just a cricket that he took straight off the tongs. Yesterday when I tried he wouldn't eat the worm, and then he wouldn't eat the cricket which I tried to give him after he wouldn't take the worm. Why won't he eat the worms? Should I just keep persisting with it?

                    [post_content] => Should I buy crickets?  They are cheaper, abundantly available, and decently nutritious.  Or should I buy dubia roaches? They are more nutritional, less smelly, and ship better in cold temperatures.

The reality is that your pet is going to love a variety of feeder insects. But when comparing crickets and dubias, there is a clear difference.
Firstly, it's important to understand the needs of your reptile. The typical carnivorous reptile diet requires:

 	
High protein (30% - 60%)
 	
High fat (40 - 70%)
 	
Low carbohydrates and indigestible fiber

Knowing this, we can then examine the nutritional content of both crickets and dubias, to determine which feeder insect is the most nutritional:
Dubia Roaches

 	
Protein - 46%
 	
Fat - 24%
 	
Calcium - 5.8
 	
Phosphorous - 5.9
 	
Calcium:Phosphorus Ratio - 1:1.01
 	
Fiber - 8%

Crickets

 	
Protein - 66%
 	
Fat - 22%
 	
Calcium - 2.1
 	
Phosphorous - 7.8
 	
Calcium:Phosphorus Ratio - 1:3.7
 	
Fiber - 12%

Protein
Looking closer, both dubias and crickets offer an abundant amount of protein.  Dubias's protein content is right in between the recommended 40-60%, which means they are great to use throughout the entire life span of your reptile.  Crickets rate modestly on the high side of protein, which means they are going to be a better feeder for when your pet is young and growing, compared to a fully grown adult.
Calcium and Phosphorus
Two of the most important minerals for carnivorous animals to receive are calcium and phosphorous. More important than the level of each mineral within a food item is the ratio of calcium to phosphorous in the overall diet. Reptiles need phosphorous in order to process calcium, so the relationship between them is important.

Experts recommend that the calcium-to-phosphorous ratio somewhere around 2:1.  As you can see, both crickets and dubia roaches fall short on this ratio.  So it's important to dust both crickets and dubias roaches with calcium powder.  This will boost that ratio to the desired 2:1.  If dusting is a problem, black soldier fly larvae are an amazing feeder that naturally yields the target calcium to phosphorus ratio.

Both crickets and dubia roaches have their pro's and con's, and guide dives into deeper detail between their comparison.  But the reality is your pet is going to want a variety of feeder insects.  And offering both will yield a happier, healthier pet.

                    [post_content] => For the past few days, my baby pac has been fully burrowed! Up to his eys. He hasn't done this since monday. His temperatures are just right sitting around 77-80 degrees, his humidity is usually always 60-80 and he's mostly eating and pooping normally, so why is he burrowing deep down? It scares me sometimes because he is just at the bottom of his substrate touching the bottom of the tank. I've been moving him out of his burrow to feed, but other than that should I leave him down there? Is he going into hibernation and if so how do I stop him from that? I am a pretty anxious person so I'm not sure if this might just be me being too cautious.

                    [post_content] => Superworms?  mealworms?  Tan crawlies?  What's the difference?

Both feeder insects come from the dame darkling beetle family.  But although they are related, they are not the same, and will not supply the same nutrients for your pet.

Most reptiles have specific fat and protein requirements from the food they eat.  And superworms meet those needs much more than mealworms.  Superworms also have a much better calcium-to-phosphorus ratio.  But, they will still need to be dusted with calcium powder.

Ultimately, superworms are a better food source than mealworms.  And you can find the breakdown of the differences in the article.
