My gecko is about 3 months now and I figure in the new year I'm going to start feeding him mealworms. Or at least try to and see how he takes them.
The breeder at the local reptile store said a good way to keep them contained is in a closed, empty margarine container, and when I feed them I would get a small dish (upside-down jar lid for example) and place a few mealworms in it and put the dish down into the tank. Does this sound alright? Also, when I dust crickets I drop them into a small, empty jar filled with a bit of calcium/vit powder and then proceed to shake it around to get them all covered. Then I usually take them out one by one using small tongs and drop them into the tank. Can I dust mealworms using the same method?
Oh, and how do I go about gutloading mealworms? I use small dishes filled with insect feeding gel on the crickets.
