    Agreed. Give them as a treat. They are harder to digest than other foods, so don't feed too many at a time.

    Thanks guys!

    Do I need to pinch there heads off? Will that help anything?

    How often can I feed my baby pacman the mealworms? It isn't eating pinkies, and wont be for awhile yet. Maybe the mealworms would make a good primary fat source? I will continue crickets as a staple, though.

    I have always heard people say,"vary their diet with fish, insects, etc." but that itself really isn't very specific. Is there anything else I can feed my young pacman other than crickets, occasional mealworm, and occasional guppy? I would prefer not to feed my pacman anything wild-caught, I don't want any pesticide/parasite with my pacman.

    Suggestion on diet? Thanks guys!

    You don't need to worry about their heads.

    Depending on the size of the pacman,you could feed mealworms maybe up to 2 or 3 times a week, and depending on the size of the mealworm, maybe 1-2 each time.

    You can try red wigglers or wax worms too. Wax worms seem to be an aquired taste, and are very fatty. Red wigglers are fine.

    phoenix worms are awesome cause they are so high in calcium.

    worms bought at walmart have worked really well as a staple for me. they are easier than crickets and dont smell if kept in the fridge
