I know the forums say to spoil the mom after she has the joeys. And trust me we have been but now i am concerned that she isn't really eating anything but meal worms. I keep telling my husband to slow down on them because they are not touching their other food and that is all i see them eat....meal worms. Is that bad while she is still nursing should we stop for a couple days so she can eat some of the other food?

mealworms should be treats. stop feeding her those for a bit so you can find out if she is just filling up on mealworms or if she really isnt eating.
