Hello, I'm Snowlady!
I have had Leos for about 5 years now, and just started raising my own meal-worms for the spoiled little ladies.
I have come in search of advice pertaining the meal worm part of it all.
Q: If the meal worms eat baking soda, can you still feed those worms to the reptiles?
(I poured baking soda into the meal worm colony to kill them, because the colony was infested with warehouse beetles. Unexpectedly, the soda killed the warehouse beetles, but the meal worms BOOMED and are thriving!!)
I just don't want to "experiment" by feeding a leo the worms to see if it dies from some gas related bloat or anything, like if you fed a bird straight baking soda. The theory for it possibly being safe, is that the worms already digested the soda, and thus removed the possibility of a stomach reaction to the soda.
