How many mealworms per day?

[Jim36]

Hi Everyone,

We've had our leo for approx 2 weeks now. He seems to be doing just fine. We were feeding him crickets but switched to mealworms because they are cheaper, don't smell and are easy to keep alive. Currently, we are feeding him 7 mealworms every night. My daughters like to watch him eat so we drop one in and he eats it right away. They we drop another in, etc...Is 7 enough? He could probably eat more. We just don't want to over feed him.

Thanks!

Jim

7 is fine. We just keep a fresh supply of worms available to all of our leos. Most do well like this but some have to be regulated because they are pigs.
