    Default Staple Diet

    I'm days away from getting my chams and have got some questions that could save me from buying food for them. I own 2 leopard geckos and began breeding mealworms for them in little ice-cream tubs. The bugs did the job well and I'm stuck with 100's of the little things. Does anyone know if I could use them as a staple? They are only a centimeter but are very fat and healthy. If they are sutable I could also give you instructions on how to breed them small. It's very easy!!!

    I tryed meal worms but my pygmy's did not seem interested , not sure if this is the same with all pygmy's ? ( has anyone else tryed ? )

    also i had to make sure i used a feeder bowl as the meal worms dug into the substrate hiding them selfs.
