First SuperWorms

ETChipotle Jun 20, 2003 01:31 PM

I bought 25 Superworms last week at ButtCo, and have been offering them to my collareds daily with no results until today.

Chomper, the one I'd judge to be the smallest, broke the ice and CHOMPed one down. Meanwhile, the other lizards gathered around and were heard saying things like "You can eat those?" and "Hey Mikey, He Likes It!"

Not to be outdone, Dino, the biggest one had to chomp one down too.

The other two still won't take them, and to celebrate there was delivered a double round of crickets for everyone.

To get them to eat Superworms...

Don't feed them anything for 2 or 3 days, then offer Superworms....they'll eat em and see they're a food source and they should eat them and crickets from then on.
