I was responding to another thread and i got to thinking ... our Shadow baby is WIERD *lol*
She LOVES mealworms!! She used to fight for the food dish with the turtle over them. She would sit and watch while i gathered the newly molted mealies out of the mealworm farm we had and even grab my hand with her paw trying to steal them. Eventually i just let her have mealworms on a regular basis. Expecially after our turtle passed on and nothing else in the house ate the mealies. She got the just molted white ones(, because they have less exoskeleton. Excessive Exoskeleton can cause consitpation in reptiles and insectivors like Hedge hogs. ) so she only got a few per day maybe a tea-tablespoon per day all molted. She never had a problem with constipation. She is the only one who had the taste for them though.
We no longer have the mealworm farm since we moved, 100lb farms were a little bit accessive to move. So we left them behind ( i am really upset i did not find a buyer for them before we left, because around here 1000 Mealworms go for $15 and we had millions.)
Is there anything wrong with cats eating bugs?
