I have a question about super worms and their pupae. Sometimes my boxie doesn't eat her super worms fast enough and they escape her dish, only to be found later under something in a pre-pupae or full on pupae state.
The pupae are basically immobile and would be easier for her to eat than the quick and twitchy super worms. Is feeding pupae and alternative or a possible "addition" to her diet or are they low on nutrients because they are in the transformation state?
Also, at some point, one or more of those pupae will turn into a full on beetle, are those appropriate boxie snacks as well? What is their nutritional status, and what does a a super worm beetle eat?
Sorry for all the questions, but after finding 4 in her enclosure, I figured I needed more info. Thanks!
