superworms?

biowarble May 30, 2007 05:15 PM

Bought superworms today for the first time. I remember Ken suggested superworms over meal worms. But my little box won't be able to get his mouth around them! For baby boxes, do you split them lenthwise, or something like that?

Superworms are rather soft and mushy, trying to cut them that way will be very messy.

Mine are able to eat up to medium sized supers, but they're several months old now.
You could try cutting the supers into pieces if your babies are used to eating out of a dish and don't need to have moving food, or you could try holding the worms and letting the babies gnaw on them. Those little mouths are surprising strong even as babies!
In the future try to get small superworms to save yourself some trouble, unfortunately this means you'll have to order online.
