Today i tried giving my redfoot alive mealworms and he seems to love it.

He always a picky eater but he attacks this mealworms right away and chase chase them arround.

I put 10 worms and when im back theyre gone.

The idea is to feed the mealworms mixed vegetables, then dust it a little calcium d3 powder.

Is this safe to be fed as daily diet?

I don't know about daily.
But they can be fed without worrying.
I'd feed this type of food as about one fifth of the diet. The rest being flowers, fruit and green leaves, etc.
