Thank you for that

I don't breed my mealies as I only have two leos at the moment so one tub from my local herp shop serves them good for a very long time. Breeding i'm sure though is a much better method if you have a lot of reps though.

Anyone else find feeding mealies on fish food/pellets causes them to smell?
