mealworms are mainly FAT. feed the nursing mum with cat/dog kibble for protien and give some milk for calcium.

The fact is mealworm is high in protein.

hehe... oh... can feed dog food huh? any brand?

i have tried, they don't like ... they prefer fresh jagung, timun, rice and sunflower seed.

rice as in cooked rice or grains? okok i will try some timun

both cooked and grain they like ... but what they like are not necessary healthy.

haha so wat is exactly healthy which can easily be find anywhere? dog food i will try.

hahaha ... those are healthy ... just that they lack protein.

protein use mealworms to overcome it?

when pregnant / got babies .... than extra protein . and calcium... milk tablet/insects

Dogfood lack protein? Dogfood has good amount of protein and carbs as a supplement for gerbils. Yes, mealworms may have protein, is memang good to give mealworms to gerbils, rats, hamsters and other small mammals but the fat content is very high. There is a limit. Also, gerbils don't need so much protein coz they are grain eaters, mealworms is more important for animals or reptiles that mainly eat insects and require a high amount of protein.
