okay, so i fed some superworms to my geckos and both of them ate two each.

i layed down for a while and looked at their cage 5 minutes later and 2 superworms were thrown up but the superworms were how they went in. they were completely in-tact.

i do not know which gecko threw up since they both ate 2.

i haven't had any trouble with them so far, and when i tried separating them they wouldn't eat so that's not an option.

is it abnormal for them to throw up just 2 supers? and have them FULLY in tact? it was really gross. they usually eat 6 at a time.

The first time I fed my gecko superworms he regurged the two of them. Since he did it pretty much right after I fed them they didn't digest. I wouldn't say it's normal but as long as they don't do it again anytime soon it should be fine. I say give them a couple days to see if they get their appetite back.

Maybe the supers are too big for them? How big are your geckos?

Substrate

What kind of substrate do you use? If sand, be careful because impaction can cause regurgitation.

they eat supers all the time, they used to love them and eat a lot in one sitting without throwing them up.

and no, i use reptile carpet.

I bought my 5month old leopard gecko a box of mealworms the other day and found a super worm in the box of meal worms so i thought id just try him on it and he loved it but is he a bit too young to have super worms???

If he was able to eat it, and digest it, then, no, he's not too young.
