superworm problems...

[angiethegreat]

So I just started feeding Gibson superworms. What a hassle this has turned out to be, and so in light of this, I am positive I am doing something wrong. She is getting constipated.... and I don't know why... I have been looking on here and I have been giving her apple sauce and a dab of olive oil to loosen things up, and when I do that she poops. But there are heads of the supers in her poop and sometimes little pieces of them too.....

she is 6 months old (about) and is 19" tip to tip ( I haven't weighted her yet)

her temps are great (102-110F on the hot and 90-70F on the cool side)

my tank is huge, with newspaper lining

crix (about 30 at a time once a day) and supers (3 -5 once a day) PW's (10 a day) and greens everyday

calicum 5x vits 2x

baths every 2 to 3 days

Any advice would be great! thanks Angie

Well, some beardies just don't digest them well. Have you tried smaller supers? How many are you offering at one time? I would keep giving applesauce to help move things along but maybe only give a few a day until she is digesting better. If that doesn't happen, try some silkworms or butterworms instead. Good luck!
