"I know you've been thrown some questions and comments, but I'll throw a couple more in there. For the question...How often do you feed these hatchlings? For the comment...I've really found mealworms to be just about useless. They're so hard for the little guys to digest, and they don't put up a great showing on the nutritional charts. When I used to offer mealworms more often, I saw far less growth in my hatchlings"
I offer food daily, when the hatchlings were in their 60gal terrarium I had the sow bugs and millipedes in with them so they had food 24/7, though I'd sometimes have to find it for them, as a result my sow bug population is low and they already finished off all the little worms and millepedes I found during fall that is why I started feeding meal worms, they've only been eating meal worms(with whats left of the sow bugs) for about 4 weeks now, I'm going to try getting some wax worms and see how they take to them.
