OH MY GOSH!! I'M SO SORRY!!! I should have realized that it was a baby and needed semi-digested food! :( I'm so so so sorry. I was just thinking or something wormy that was easy to come by, and i had mealworms so they were first in mind. I'm such and idiot, i should have known better. I'm SOOO sorry :( I can't beleive myself.

No, no, no, it wasn't your fault. By the time you told me, I had already both fed him the mealworms and realized that I shouldn't have. It was the people at the pet store who told me to feed it mealworms even though I had already told them it was a baby. I even had it with me and they peeked in at it. They didn't do it maliciously or anything, they were just ignorant and unfortunately so was I. I do wish they had admitted that they didn't know what they were doing, but I should have known it myself. Afterall, anyone who suggests mealworms before they even know if it eats insects can't be working from a very broad knowledge base.
