Yes, I agree. They should be given very rarely. I would only give them to my girl about once every couple months and that's only when she was being very tolerant. They start to ignore other prey items because the mealworms taste better as they are all fat and nothing nutritionalIronically, the mealworm IS one that is harder to digest because they have more chitin per body weight than larger softer bodied insects do. Mealworms should not be a dietary staple.
