Mealworm size?

[leet13]

Hi all. My husband bought me some mealworms that are about 1.5 inches in length... is this too large for my 3 month (approx) ambilobe? Here is a pic of my baby in relation to the size of my fingers.

Can I also cut the mealworms in half (I still need them to wiggle a little and it sounds cruel to cut them but I will if I need to).

waaaaaay to big. You dont want the worm longer than the chams forearm. Your worm is as long as its body.

General rule of thumb for feeders (crickets/locusts etc.) is they should not be longer than the distance between the chams eyes. For worms it's the length of the chams head. Soft-bodied worms like silks can be a bit bigger

Ok. No mealworms until he gets bigger. LOL Thanks.

instead of getting super worms you can get the small sized ones.

I recommend Phoenix Worms.. You won't regret it. You're cham will LOVE them. They're small, VERY active, and extremely high in calcium
