When can I start feeding supers?

[Pepper]

My Leo isn't a baby anymore, but it's not adult size.

Probably 3-4 months old, estimate.

When can I feed supers? He can down giants easy but I don't know if a super would be too much haha.

It seems when he eats the giants it takes a little while for them to get down, he crunches them up then they kind of sit in his throat in a lump, then he swallows a minute or so later....

Thanks

EDIT: This is about how big he is, he may have grown since I took the picture.

Supers do come in a small size. That's what I started Tiamat on until she reached about 35g, at which point I started feeding her normal sized ones.

when ever he can eat em he looks plenty big enough in my opinion

One of mine started on supers at 11 grams. She gained weight quickly with them.

He looks big enough. I have a few that size and they do fine on supers. My Bibron's and White spotted which are smaller can take one or two down. Your fine.

ugg I just remember I can't get any here.

Our only pet store, a chain pet store keeps the supers in the freezer.

Maybe I can tell them not too...

[Pepper]

Yeah they keep everything in the freezer, I forgot they did that T_T

And no I can't order bulk lol.

I can't find any feeders besides crix and mealies here. Where do you guys normally go to buy supers?

my local pet store *not a chain* sells them for 1.50/dozen...

but i know the other chain petstores here sell them... maybe you have to ask for them... i do understand out of country they are called something else not super worms... i think it starts with a B lol... i dunno *shrug*
