will superworms eat mealworms?

[jackolantern]

i have superworms and mealworms in a seperate container. I want to put them all together tho. Will the superworm eat the mealworms since its a lot bigger, also i heard that meal worms has an exoskeleton thats harder to digest than superworms, if i feed a superworm that has eaten a meal worm will that be an easier way for my chameleon to digest since the superworm already did the digestion of the exoskeleton for my chameleon.

I don't think a super will eat a meal worm especially if you are feeding it other stuff. I'm no expert though. Also super worms are easier to digest but eating too many at one time will back them up (like their poop).

Superworms does eat other superworms! If they do that, why would they spare a mealworm? I would not try but I am sure they would!

Superworms will eat mealworm eggs. Superworms will also eat other superworms if there isnt enough food/water, you dont have this problem with mini/regular meal worms. Mealworms will pupate in the bin and lay eggs, supers will not, they will be super till you take them away from their friends.

So if you are not breeding, you can keep them all together.

Im still salty that the supers ate all 20 of my dermis larva, i should have separated them and put them in the dubia bin when i had the chance.

Supers will eat anything, dead or alive. Meal worms on the other hand wont eat live things.
