Size of meal worms

[centrarchid]

NO SUPER WORMS, they are too big and I would be concerned about the hens just swallowing them not killing them.
Unless you want to kill them first.
My son has Bearded Dragons, I get Super worms for them. I have Mealworms for chickens

The same birds can eat snakes, lizards and mice. They should be able to handle beetle larvae.

I am not saying they CAN'T. I should have rephrased that.
I am sure they usually eat a dead mice not live, I may be wrong.
I have heard that the Superworms have eaten through Lizard stomachs if they don't chew them. I would rather be on the safe side after seeing what they chew through.

Mine like the mealworms, smaller and softer shell.

The chickens deliver rapid killing bites before swallowing.
