Mealworms are no good, Superworms are pretty good.

Can a 3" Veiled eat baby supers already? Or is it somethin to avoid still? Small superworms, I mean small as in small. Smaller or as big as mealworms.

I would try silkworms, they're better than superworms or mealworms. They're softer too.

Does that breeder sell eggs? You can buy those in bulk and just hatch when needed.

Just make sure you vary the diet. Crickets are great too.
