[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 233980, member: 29323"] I use mealworms for all of my slings. And them chewing is never a problem. As you need to behead them to use them as feed. As otherwise, they burrow down & thus not only do you lose them as a food source, you also risk them reappearing a few weeks later as a darkling beetle. I chop the head off using a pair of scissors & that gives my slings an easy way in to the soft inner. To feed dubias, you should be crushing the head to stop them from burrowing too. And both roaches & mealworms continue to move for a very good 24 hours, so it does nothing to stop feeding response. With dubias, I drop them in on their back for best feeding response. As like that, their little legs move fast & gets that desired feeding response. With mealworms, I feed all of my slings whole mealworms. That makes them easy to find & remove. [/QUOTE]
