Wonderful, small superworms

[Gonser]

I recently bought a load of the new "small" superworms from Mulberry Farms. They are awesome! They are much smaller and easier for leos to handle than those monster supers are. The leos love them and freak out at dinner time...WAY better than mealies. In fact, I don't think I'll ever feed mealies again. My leos are very healthy and happy now and their color is vibrant. If you have finicky eaters, try these and watch those leos go crazy over them.

The supers are easy to care for at room temp. I highly recommend checking out a load and you'll never use mealies again....lots better than the stink and hassles of crickets too.

Just as a followup, supers are much higher in fat than crickets so watch the weight of your leos if you use supers. Might be good to vary their diet anyway and add in crickets etc. too. Crickets are a pain but they are excellent feeders. Albey and JMG use crickets exclusively and their results speak for themselves.
I love supers and will continue to use them as my main source for my leos. Get the smalls though!
