I currently have 7 leopard geckos. They can easily put away around 800 mealies per week and thats limiting them to about 15/day. I did have a good sized colony going but lost them do to increased moisture. I've put in an online order for 5000 mealworms and 50 butterworms (hoping my guys will eat them) and i'll most likely order more before the end of the month. As it stands right now, NO ONE close to me had any of the regular mealworms, just the supers, so i have to cut them up for a few of my guys who are smaller. My beetles will hopefully produce some baby worms for me soon, but not soon enough!

Speaking of mealworms its dinner time for my guys. hehehe
