mealworm question...

[argolupin]

ok, i know most people on here do not like meal worms, but here goes....

I have let my meal worm colony go and now have a couple thousand mealworms of different sizes. I am making new cages to seperate them into out od plastic show bins. the question is how many mealworms would safely be housed in one of these bind, i don't want t oover crowd...

they are so tempting to raise b/c they are so easy, but my dragon got a lil impacted after eating only about a dozen mealworms for 3 days. I switched to raising Super worms.

I have a leopard gecko as well that has trouble keeping weight on and the vet reccomended mealies, i am trying to raise super worms for my dragon, but i raise these guys for my leo and ony allow my dragon to have the freshly molted ones that are still white as they are very soft at that time.

that's cool, you may want to try to give your gecko wax worms, but they are high in fat so not too many of em
