mealworms ?

[yahutch]

Everything I have read on this site has said they have little nutritional value and to feed supers instead ( adult beardie ) .Does anyone know where this info. started from ? I guess what I am asking is , Is there a scientific test or something I can show my vet to verify this ? I went to a well known , highly recommended reptile/exotics vet and she said I should change out the supers I have been feeding for the more nutritional mealworms . I told her everything I have read on the internet has stated the opposite , but she stood firm . She even wrote in his post op instructions to feed dusted mealworms or crickets .

i know there is scientific proof that their hard chitin shell and little nutritional value is why people usually don't recommend them for beardies...

i'm just trying to think of where are the mark ups are... check mulberryfarms.com and maybe other superworm breeders as they may have a nutritional comparison
