Just put fresh potato in + wait a few days so the mealworms can let their digestive system clear out. BTW, only feed mealies to larger juvies + adults and not in large amounts. Do you use other feeder insects ?

Sounds good ! BTW, you'll have people telling you that mealies have no nutrition + are too hard to digest but this is not true. They are not as good as the other insects but are great in an emergency and as treats. I've had a colony of them as long as 5 years in the past, never had a dragon that got impacted or sick from them. As long as the dragon is big enough + your heat is fine so you avoid digestive trouble it's O.K. You need to dust them with calcium, too but I'm sure you know that.
