As an RVT, I'm very aware of the perils of overfeeding treats to cats and dogs and making them fat, and disturbing the natural balance of proper ingredients in any decent pet food. Yah da yah da yah da....
I just received a pound of meal worms from Tasty Worms in FL, and I've sprinkled a few out in the run, and the girls are all lined up, finding and snorfing them. I've got 6 LF girls, all pullets getting starter crumble at this time, with about a cup of scratch every morning, broadcast in the run, plus a feeder with oyster shell and another with grit, accessible all day every day. How much/many of the meal worms (dried) should I broadcast every morning? I'm pretty sure my pound would disappear really fast if I gave them as much as they would like, plus you know, treats =/= balanced diet.
