what is the size of mealworms you feed your baby leos? can they take halfgrown and full size mealworms? i ask cos im running out of small mealies and there's a shortage in my area (i dont buy through the mail). TIA

You can feed babies full sized mealies (not supers) but full regular sized mealies. Obviously there may be circumstances where a smaller baby may not be able to feed on them but for the most part all babies can be fed regular mealies. As for me I feed my babies homegrown adult mealies (never seem to get as big as store bought) until their 3rd shed or 3 weeks then they go on giants (as long as they have grown enough where thats a safe size).
