I hope you mean grams not kilograms,

Feeding superworms shouldn't be a problem at 30 grams. Just feed one and see how it goes then give a couple more if everything is cool.
Try feeding worms that have just shed, they are a lot softer than normal.

I think you mean grams haha but yes you could just be sure to get the smaller to medium ones not the large. however it is just as cheap if not cheaper to have 1inch mealworms for instance you can get 3000 mealworms from armstrong cricket for 16.05 shipped if you call them and like 1000 for 7.50 but they have a 10$ minimum order cause they dont charge for 2nd day shipping note those are mealworm prices superworms cost more

Hope i helped aaron

hi dragongirly

at 30g , you should be able to feed your leos super worms. see how they like it first before you buy a lot of cups... you said you use supers to feed your beardies right? so it shouldn't be much of a problem... get a recently shed super from your beardies food and see how the leos like it.. if they do, then great!

hope it helps take care!

Lol... if they weighed 30 & 35 kilograms you could feed them a freaking rat and not have any troubles. But seriously you should be able to feed them small or medium sized superworms at that size, though it still depends on how big the worms are in relation to your geckos mouths.
