Superworms only?

[GrimmyX15]

I'm currently feeding superworms my Nemo, leopard gecko strictly but occascially waxworms for treat. The reason why I feed only superworms because parasites reason.

I cannot feed my nemo crickets because they would contain parasites, mealworms... too hard and no roaches.

It happened to my Jackie. (god may rest her soul)

Is that bad?

I try to find calcuim worms but they didnt sell them anymore.
any ideas to convince pet store to sell calcuim worms?

Not bad at all. Just be sure to dust them with calcium.

I always dust them with ICB every feeding. to make sure nemo get all calcuims he needs.

I also feed strictly Superworms. You don't have to dust every single feeding but once or twice a week is good. Also male sure you have non d3 calcium in the tank.

I also feed mostly just supers. I dust every other feeding with repashy icb all in 1. I stopped keeping a calcium dish in the tank because Eros developed a calcium bubble under his armpit. Sometimes when it flairs back up I'll cut dusting back to once a weeek for a few weeks. If you're uncomfortable with such a strict diet mixing it up with wax worms, butter worms, phoenix worms, then feel free, but there is nothing harmful that can come from a strict diet.

Wow that's relief! I thought their diet are supposed to be varies but now it's no harm. C: thanks alot guys!

Nemo is currently eating superworms and waxworms(only as treat)

For an owner that has just a single or few leos and can afford a varied diet of worms, that doesn't have to include crckets, of course a varied diet is more healthful as your leo is getting the vitimins naturally that we're supplimenting with dusting. Each prey item brings different levels of calcium protein fats moisture and an array of different other things to the table and no one likes the same thing every day really but a limited diet won't hurt your leo. Many large scale breeders/collecters collection survive/thriv e just fine on a diet solely of mealies and the occasional treat bug.

What do you mean Mealworms too hard?
