Where do I find meal worms?

[geckoqueen]

I have looked online and the meal worms I have found are too big for my baby Gecko. The pets stores don't have meal worms and there is a shortage of meal worms right now. The lady at pet store said that also. I would rather feed her meal worms than crickets, if that is poss to do. I know you can buy the canned worms but I don't think my gecko would eat it as it does not move. I tried dried flies from the pet shop and even added water and she won't touch it. If there is a place to buy meal worms for baby gecko's I would like the link please. I have looked and no luck yet. Thanks.

Sorry nobody has them anymore. Crickets are what I’m suing right now.

Gas station, for fishing, there should be some in the coolers with the night crawlers.

Some are large, what you did is cut the head off and have the insides come out and let the leo lick it up.

Look on lllreptile.com. They have them last time I checked and that was like a few days ago.

So you are suing crickets right now. :main_laugh: I think I need to sue some crickets, they jumped onto my clean floor. Just kidding I know what you meant.

Oh thanks I'll look there. I know there is also a 711 store they might have it but if not I'll check the gas station.

Yes I checked but I'm going to check locally first but if I can't find I'll check them out. Thanks. :main_thumbsup:
Also I know to keep in fridge but what do you feed meal worms, and how long do they live for? I need to know, thanks for your help.

Feed them oat meal. They live pretty long.

You can keep them in oatmeal or wheat bran. If you keep them in the fridge, let them warm up and eat before you feed your baby. Also, you might want to put a bit of potatoe for moisture. They will only last a few weeks out of the fridge, because they turn into pupae and then beetles.

We have been feeding crickets every other day or so, and hand feeding Repta-Aid as food for the days they don't have crickets.. this mealworm shortage is really hurting!
