Dry mealworms have less nutrition, as well, but they do store longer and make for excellent treats - provided that your crested gecko likes them. Live mealworms are definitely better, as the fresh worms will help to keep your Crested Gecko hydrated and they are less likely to reject live food than they are the dry alternative.

With that in mind, are dried mealworms just as good?

Crested Geckos love their mealworms, though for some of us the ‘live food’ option can make us a little squeamish or simply be a bit of a chore to maintain.
