Question
my anole is not eating. is it bad that we fed it mealworms instead of silkworms.

Answer
Hi there Shannon. Mealworms are not one of an Anole's favorite foods, but they aren't going to hurt it either. If the mealworms are the only food that you have offered him, I would recommend some nice gut-loaded crickets for him. I think most of our scaly friends enjoy crickets, and if they are not eating well, it's a good bet. Here is a good care sheet about anoles. http://www.anapsid.org/anole.html
I hope he eats soon! Thanks for the question! Nicole
