Can't remember who, of how many people said it.. but dang.. works like a charm. So much easier than fruit flies. Even my minute Lasiodora parahybana slings went to town on that meal.

If you start raising them you can get all different sizes as well. But yes this is the way to go.

Other then the fact that they need a full mealworm or multiple ones.....

They work great on juvies and even adults ;)

They have been my go-to for years. They really do work well. Just remember to remove any uneaten chunks, because they can mould quickly.

Cut mealworms into pieces. This is my last resort. Feeding my slings, the pieces. Don’t give a dang if I cut myself feeding!!! THIS IS MY LAST RESORT!! [insert popparoach instrumentals]

PSA If anyone doesn't like the idea of cutting up a worm, you can get mini mealworms. When all my Ts were small slings I used to order minis from Rainbow Mealworms.
