Hey y'all just a quick question. Will it be safe to feed my baby supers? My Leo is about 6 months old (don't know exact age since I rescued her of the evil hands if petsmart last october :p) and 7 inches, haunt gotten a chance to wieght her yet since I accidently broke my scale :C here's a pic:

Her current diet is crickets and mealworms (with occasional waxworms) and I wanna start her on supers to beef her up a bit ya know. Just concerned if there's a choking hazard or something. She is a good eater ^_^ she's also my favorite Leo.

Superworms are part of my girls' diet, even the smallest who lengthwise matches yours. My small girl weighs in at approx 34 grams. When I feed her, she still gets adult supers, but I select them to be the smaller of the adults. She handles them just fine.

They also get crickets (until I switch over to dubias) twice a week.

i start on adult supers at about 20-25 grams, my giant raptor just tipped the scale at 20.6 grams tonight so she will be on supers from now on

That kinda worries me. Will tong feeding prevent bites and stuff? My uncle gave me his superworm colony since he gave away his beardys so I have hundreds of supers :)
