Bosc + meal worms?

Hi, i have my 08 hatchling bosc. He is great

Anyway, he has eaten 3 crickets today, and seems quite full lol. He wont even have a taste at meal worms though. Is that normal?

dont give him meal worm unless u cut there heads of cause meal worm will eat the inside of the bosc out

Hardly, the stomache acid's will kill it!!

they will eat them but its best to do as above... cut there heads off

How will they eat the insides out though? The stomache acid will destroy them or do reps not have stomach acid?

giant meal worms are hardy things and have a shell like skin so its hard to digest unlike a beardie were they chomp etc boscs eat whole lol

Oh, ok. These are giant. They are small!

still best to just nip the heads rather than cuttin em off.... they will still wriggle around so still appeal to the bosc

Oh, so if i squeeze the heads with some tweezers, they will still wriggle?
