Introducing my gecko to Supers

[samthebigkid]

so I already fed her her first one today. How should i continue? Should i give her one everyday, or every few days? I don't want to give her more than she can handle

When she can't eat anymore she'll stop, and if she doesn't know enough to stop she'll probably throw it up, but then she'll learn her lesson.

Yeah I started all my geckos on supers today because I was sick of dealing with butt loads of mealies that took for ever to get a good size to make a good meal for my geckos.
I am new to Supers but I would think it wouldnt take to many of them to get a gecko full since body mass wise they are alot larger then a mealie.
On A side note. I think I am going to have to move the supers down into the basement. Even though they cant make any noise like a cricket or anything all there crawling around and stuff is pretty darn noisy for my bedroom. lol kind of driving me crazy and paranoid thinking they keep escaping everytime i hear them even though i know they cant crawl out of a rubbermaid. Well atleast I hope they cant.

nope they cant....but.....feed supers every 3 days....leave 2 or 3 in a bowl and every third day refill it

The supers can't crawl out of a rubbermaid, but I found out the hard way that they can eat through plastic. I had some in a pint or quart plastic container with a lid and eventually found a perfectly round superworm sized hole. I thought I contained all the worms, but you should have seen the reactions of my family when these huge beetles started crawling around the living room.

:main_laugh: OMGosh Aliza. that story sounds all to familiar, and the bettles just kept coming and coming and coming :main_laugh:

& my male will eat about 4 Supers everyday to everyother day.
My female apparently doesn't know how to eat them properly, cuz they always bite her, she hates them & will only eat mealies:main_no:
