asf and meal worms

[dakota11]

just a well maby strange question. Have any of you ever fed meal worms to the adult asf? There was a sale and I got way more than i normally get for my leopard geckos. anyways I thought has there even been research on what asf eat in the wild long story short i used tongs and gave a couple asf one each and they ate them they chewed them up so no worries about the meal worms biting them. so every couple days i give them one and they gently take them from tongs and their temperment has changed suddenly they dont go apy when i go near their nest. If anyone plans on reaming me out for trying this please explain as if its bad for them i wont feed mealworms but explain. on the other hand if anyone has tried let me know thanks

I think I've read somewhere (maybe on a mouse forum or here) that live food is a very good supplement to give rodents. Since ASFs are naturally very predatory towards insects, I think it's a good idea.

My ASF's got crazy for superworms. They are high in fat, but also a good source of protein. I give each breeder about 1 a week each.

Hi, I'm a new ASF owner, but a long-time mouse owner. Yes! Mice loooove mealworms, and they are high in protein. Mouse owners limit them to one mealworm per mouse per week.
