Hi;

Since I just started my gecko hobby, I have a small question.

I heard that it isn't a good idea to feed mealworms to gecko's and other
reptiles.
I've been told that it could harm the inside organs of the animals; also
I've
been told that mealworms are very hard to digest for the gecko's.
But many reptile breeders give it to their animals, so I don't realy know if
it
is save to feed them mealworms now and then or that it would be safer to
never feed them mealworms
and only crickets and grasshoppers.

Does anybody know if its true that it is dangerous to feed mealworms now and
then?

In a local fishing supply store they also sell mealworms but they are a bit
larger
then the regular mealworms sold in a terrarium shop, but not so large like
morioworms.

Are there different species of mealworms?

What is the best food for crickets and mealworms to make them a healthy food
for my
reptiles?

At the moment I feed my crickets a mix of 'muesli' (a mix of dried cereals,
fruits and nuts),
and some dry cat food, but I am not sure if thats the best way.


Hope somebody could help me out;

Thanks in advance;
