What do you do with feeders?

[curiousKathy]

Since I have a couple new girls and they aren't eating, plus Jackie seems to be tired of mealworms and crickets and now maybe even the superworms, I have been trying different feeders. So I picked up some horn worms and more supers at the reptile show. I discovered that I have a question (or two! VBG)...if your leo doesn't like the feeder, for example horn worms or the horn worms get too big to feed your leo, how do you get rid of them? Down the toilet? In the trash? To the birds? I am wondering about the superworms, crickets and mealworms, too. What do I do with them if they get too big for the leos I have?

Thanks in advance!

I dip them in some chocolate and eat them :main_laugh:

Why don't you try mashing them up and putting them on the feeders they will eat?

Any leftover mealies I have go into my beetle colonies.

Betcha the birds and other critters outside would enjoy some tasty bugs this time of year! I vote birds.

The leftover mealworms I let them pupate; the grew-too-big roaches....I spray them with insecticide, then throw them out.

Thanks for all the great responses...I think I will stick with the almighty flush or the great garbage dump. I worry about introducing non-native insects outdoors for the birds and I don't fish...grin! If anyone would like my unused insects and lives near Columbus, Ohio, let me know! <VBG>
