Can my P. regius slings eat a cut up mealworm now?

[regalpaws]

I have four slings, two of which are very large and like 10x the size of the melanogaster fruit flies. Not sure how hydei fruit flies would be in size comparison, but these two are getting bigger and need larger prey now. (Makes me smile lol). If I cut up a small mealworm, would this be ok? They've molted maybe 4 times since coming from the nest. Thanks a bunch, as always!

They will scavenge as well for food but if they are already past the size of eating Hydei you can get bottle fly pupa or pikes and hatch those, the spikes can be given right to jumpers too but will borrow quickly

Considering they are still not adult size bottle flies could be a little large so the house flies are better to try first, my apologies. Judging by the pics you still may be able to try hydei I feel like they should be large enough without worrying about too large of prey now. The hydei are like twice the size of melanogaster
