    Twice a week doesn't sound like way too often to feed him, maybe cut down to one insect at a time once or twice a week coated with supplements? I don't know how much fat superworms have. Anybody?

    Further up the thread it said they are very fatty and loaded with chitin, which contributes to prolapse (as does the obesity).

    I'd get him some crickets and gut load them on fresh vegies & a high calcium diet (Edit: Nix that, I'd do what Lija suggests!)
