mealworm question?

[dom1959]

since one of the drawbacks of mealworms is the high chitin content...

if you keep a fair amount of mealworms and chose freshly molted ones does that reduce impaction worry?

 

[dom1959]

any thoughts?

I've heard that suggested many times, though I've no idea if its true.
I myself do select the white fresh ones to feed off (certainly causes no harm )

I use the freshly moulted ones with my constipated chams, as silkies and hornworms are not avaiable in my country. I believe they do the work

white ones are better for your reptiles.
