You could also start a superworm colony in the same way, and simply feed the younger, smaller superworms to your gecko. It's possible somebody nearby might even want to buy any extras you have for their reptiles, if prices are that bad where you live! I'm trying to set up a superworm colony at the moment myself, and I've got a few reptile-keeping friends and one friend who has a small eco-friendly cruelty-free chicken farm who will probably buy some of my extra worms, since I'm only feeding a bearded dragon and, eventually, once he's full grown, possibly a gargoyle gecko. There are a lot of good articles about it, and there are a number of uses for the extra worms.
While they’re perfectly safe to use on occasion, it’s better to stick to crickets or Dubia roaches, which are the two most common species for geckos. Since you can't use superworms yet, and mealworms are so expensive, I might also suggest that you try starting a small mealworm colony! You can put full-grown ones in the fridge to keep and feed off, and keep some to pupate and turn into more breeding beetles. Superworms Although superworms are a great source of protein, minerals, and fiber, they are not suitable for regular feeding.
