Sooooo, here's a question, it's just a what if question. So we all know whey protein is a good source of protein, along with some other good stuff. So it's nutrition content is great right? So what if we gutload our feeders with them, is that gonna be good for our geckos? :D

How are you going to get worms to eat just whey protein? Second, reptiles are not supposed to have the same supplementation values as humans and that can actually be VERY harmful to a gecko to receive excess supplements. I wouldn't do it...but I cant say for sure what would happen if you did.

Its a gecko eating insects. You cant "gutload" the larval stag of an insect....just stick with veggies and grains for the feeders.
