[QUOTE="DustyD, post: 200710, member: 36911"] I keep a few to a dozen superworms on hand in a small container and feed them plain Cheerios that I have rolled into a somewhat fine grain. I was told that if you keep a few together they won't turn into beetles. From time to time I put in some pieces of vegetables for nutrients and moisture. Superworms have a higher fat content based on what I have been reading recently so I also feed my tarantulas crickets and tried a few roaches. I usually crush the heads of the superworms otherwise they will bury themselves quickly. For smaller Ts I cut the superworms into segments and leave it out. [/QUOTE]
