At what age.....

[Solomon]

At what age or size, is it alright to start feeding mealworms?

I wouldn't think it wise to feed a hatchling mealies, but would it for one that has doubled it's size, say 1 - 2 months old?

[Tim and Julie B]

I've fed youngins as early as 2 weeks. So long as the meal is the right size there should be no problems. I have found that any babies who are "problem" eaters do very well when given mealies. Perhaps they are less frightening or something.

My hatchlings eat nothing but mealworms. Since they were three days old they have been eating them with no problems.

leo's can be raised on mealies, no age requirement.

If you can get small mealworms, or raise your own, you'll have them in all sizes. There'll be a mealworm just right for any hatchling. I feed mealworms to hatchlings as well as crickets. Since I also raise my own superworms (zoophobas) I also off tiny ones to babies over 3 months old. Note: they're TINY superworms, about the size of the mealworms they eat).

I do the same as Hilde.
I raise my own mealies, and superworms, and feed my baby leo them. I have since she started eating I do feed her the smaller ones, and med. sized freshly molted. She likes them better than crickets.
