FYI the difference in size between medium and large PWs is not great. I order large ones and they are still smaller than medium meal worms or wax worms so even large ones would be ok for little guys.At any rate, I think the size was an important factor. They were within safe range (not bigger than the space between his eyes)

The best,Also, I realized that we did something different this am, in that, we went to greater lengths to clean the bedding off the worms.

I get them out with a fork, which helps, and then roll them around on a paper towel to get the rest.
I used to be skeeved out by the thought of them being "maggots" but I suppose I'd rather have maggots in my house than roaches because the maggots can't crawl out of the container..LOL.
