Currently I have been using mealies. I was thinking about supplementing with supers. What are the benefits of supers, and what makes them better then mealies? I can get 500 for $14, but mealies, come in 1000s for $5. Price is making me reluctant to get the supers.

Can anyone give me reasons on why I should get supers?

Thanks!

Michael

pros-
easier to digest than mealies
more nutrional than mealies
attract more attention than mealies

cons-
can't be fed in a dish
are very big

I'll just stick with mealies for now. I'll splurge on supers once I get money.

how many leos do you have? you can usually buy things of 25-50 supers at pet stores. Also like 5-8 small/medium mealies=1 adult super.

I have 5 that would be eating the supers. The pet stores around me jack the prices of everything up. Thanks for all the help today.

Mealies, seem like they'd be easier to deal with. WAtching every lizard eat each super doesn't seem like its worth it. The mealies I have a active... once i shake em a bit, but the geckos get the idea.

You can buy 1000 supers at American cricket Ranch for $15.99. They are on sale right now.
