Kingworms?

[jjh1]

My Male will eat 24+ king worms every 2 days if I let him is that normal.
My female will look at them but gets bored and right now she is only interested in digging.
She doesnt really want to eat. Though she will eat kingworm if its there in her dish.

Are king worms okay to give everyday or should they be limited? Is there anything else that I should be giving them?

They get assorted veggies everyday as well . Strike Male will eat crix as well , Athena female could care less.

Ideas?
thanks
Joanne

King or Super worms can be fed every day as a staple for sure. 24 a day yea you are going to have to start breeding them I just started but going well

thank you for getting back to me my boy just loves king worms so much my girl does to but not as many as he does. I think she isnt eatting as much as she is going through a shed right now and is so grumpy lol.

So your breeding your own colony how many have you started with? If you could give me the information that would be so great thanks

King meal worms? I think I read somewhere that those were steryl for some reason. (someone correct me if they have had success.) maybe you might consider breeding normal mealys?

Their shell is Less thick than mealworms they turn into beetles and lay eggs.
