size mealworms?

[shadowx362]

well I feed crickets to my geckos but when the babies hatch i want them to get used to meal worms so the owners aren't grossed out about the crickets so what size do you use for babies and for adults do you use standard meal worms or giant meal worms? According to these sizes which one do you use for your adults? http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/feeders/worms/

I feed both regular mealworms. I order from http://www.sunshinemealworms.com/ and they offer 4 sizes mini
1/4 in, small 1/2 in, medium 3/4 inch or large 1 inch. Younger ones I do small-medium, my adults are given large.

When we got our trio they were between 15-20g and they did great on 1/4" mealworms. I loved the fact and actually it was a deciding factor for us, that whatever lizard we got did not require crickets, when we decided to get some lizards as pets!

If Leos required crickets as a staple diet, I can assure you chances are we would not own them! I don't mind when I go to Petsmart every now and then to pick up a couple dozen or 100 crickets, gut load them for 24hrs and feed them off, but if I had to keep 1000's of crickets 24/7, forget it! Mealworms have worked out great, no trouble at all, and recently we even bred our first batch of mealworms from some beetles with little effort at all.

I also love Sunshine mealworms, Nicole over there is great and all the orders we've gotten have been perfect.

I give my adult male (90g or so) king worms and my teo females (around 45/50g) regular mealies. and I use snookums.
