I know this is a very basic question here, but how often and in what amount should superworms be fed to an adult leo?

It should be fine to feed them pretty much as much as it will eat since they are another type of beetle larva like mealworms just bigger. They arent' the steroid fed ones like king mealworms they are from a different species of beetle so are safe for ur leo.You can even search to see if you can compare them nutritionally to mealworms etc.

super worms are great. I feed every other day 3 or 4 large ones what ever they will eat. As I see it, makes them big fatties.
