[QUOTE="Axil, post: 2020721, member: 117612"] I think it likely at least contributed. Mealworms have a lot of chitin and little guys have more delicate stomachs. They are also high in fat content so need to be moderated regardless. For example my guy is 14in and just started on superworms (less but tougher chitin than a mealworm). He only gets 1-3 at a time and some people advice to wait even longer before letting them have those kinds of feeders. I fed mine mostly Dubai and some crickets at that age. Don't let crickets escape in the cage if you use them they have the potential to bite. I would give the mealworms a break at least for a couple weeks until he gets a bit bigger then try one small mealworm and see if you have any issues. Make sure whatever you are feeding fits within the space between his eyes, or he may choke or suffer an impaction. BSFL are another good feeder especially for little guys. They are small, soft, good protein and very high calcium. Make sure he stays hydrated. The loose poo will have taken extra water from him, and hydration will help him digest properly the next time. you can drip water on his nose, mist his greens, and even mist his bugs if nothing else is working.
