Chitin and superworms

[cushcameleon]

Are superworms just as bad as mealworms when it comes to chitin? Or would they be good for my rudis?

Same as mealworms, but they are not "bad" just not good for everyday use. Variety is the key here. They are good to add every so often. It's the built up in the system not one feeding.

Well a lot of people on this forum prefer superworms over mealworms. What makes supers better than mealworms?

 

[Syn]

Mealworms have more chitin to meat ratio I believe.

take a meal worm, and squish it then do it so a super. the supers have a softer body imo

Not the same "Chitin" and yes softer bodies-they are very different. You could actually use Supers as a staple. Variety is best, however!
