I am not biased against them for nutritional reasons, but I don't really feed them too often. I have experienced less of a prey drive for them - resulting in less being eaten unless I was to tong feed them. I do feed them occasionally in case variety is beneficial, but I make sure that they have gone a longer period since their last feeding to ensure that they are hungry and eat them immediately.Mealworms are just fine as a staple part of the diet...I don't get all the anti-mealworm bias on these boards.
If I had better responses for them, I would definitely feed them way more often than I do. They are far easier to keep and I hate crickets.
