What's your take on Small Superworms?

[jodyberry]

I know the hazards of feeding mealworms (with their hard outer shell), but what about Small Superworms?

I saw some at: greatlakeshornworm.com

I would think that since they have more protein and less chitin they would be good.

Any suggestions?

I've been feeding ours them since I found out Mealworms are bad.. he's 5-6 weeks old, so he's small.. but he really noms on them.. it's funny because I'll put the bowl with a couple in there and he comes running! Nom nom nom nom...buuurrrpppp. He likes em. They don't seem to keep the calcium power on very well though.. He eats em, and poops em out, so, I think they're good.. I am a newbie though and so far have done just about everything wrong, so take what I say with a grain of salt

When you say "poops em out" do you mean whole? Or digested?

Also, where do you get your small superworms?

Thanks...
