Are you feeding live mealworms? or canned or freeze dried?
You can try to get him to eat about a spoon full of un seasoned canned pumpkin. That would help with constipation.

If it's freeze dried mealworms, if fed to much can cause a bowel obstruction I believe.

I'd watch him today and hopefully he actually "Ate" some. and if it's not better I'd take him to the vet to make sure theres nothing wrong.

Also one of my girls gets constipated sometimes and I can't get her to eat pumpkin so I sprinkle "Multi Grain" on her food and it really helped her. it's the same stuff I grow my mealies in.

And I think maybe sweet potato could help I haven't tried it yet.

I hope he gets to feeling better soon!

I forgot about the squash!
I think next time my little girl has "problems" I'm going to try the sweet potato and/or squash.
She is finally getting to where she will try new things.

Yeah mine are the same way. I have a freezer full of frozen pumpkin cubes and cant get any of them to eat it.
(I can't really blame them though, I can't stand pumpkin)
