Mealworms – (Tenebrio Molitor)
Tenebrio Molitor
Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) are the larvae of mealworm beetles and are an abundant food source for many animals. Birds, spiders, reptiles, even other insects prey on mealworms to find a high protein and fat source in the wild, and it is much the same in captivity!
Small – Approx. 1/2″ Medium – Approx. 3/4″ Large – Approx. 1″
Caring For Feeder Insects
Gut-loading
Mealworms are also an abundant food source for many animals. Birds, spiders, reptiles, even other insects prey on mealworms to find a high protein and fat source in the wild, and it is much the same in captivity! Mealworms are used as feeder insects for a lot of popular pets, such as bearded dragons, chickens, even fish.
Temperature
Place them in a refrigerator set at 45°F until ready for use. When you are ready to use them, remove the desired amount and leave at room temperature until they become active, roughly 24 hours before feeding to your animal.
Substrates
A one thousand count bulk of mealworms can be kept in a large plastic container, with air holes in the top. You should cover the mealworms with a thick layer of wheat middling, oatmeal, or Fluker’s mealworm bedding to provide bedding and a food source.
Feeding Your Pet
Feeder insects should be no larger than the space between your pet’s eyes.

Cricket – (Acheta domesticus)
A Cricket (Acheta domesticus) is an insect with distant relations to the grasshopper, and are found almost all over the world! They can range in size, but a Fluker cricket can get up to an inch in length. Pick the size that best fits your pet’s needs!
Superworms – (Zophobas Morio)
Superworms are the larvae of a darkling beetle, Zophobas morio. Not to be confused with giant mealworms, which are mealworms sprayed with a juvenile hormone, superworms are a great source of calcium, fat and fiber.
Live Hornworms – (Manduca sexta)
Hornworms are an excellent feeder treat for bearded dragons, leopard geckos, chameleons, and various other reptiles and pets. Their bright green color stimulates picky eaters, and they are extremely low maintenance.
Soldier Fly Larvae – (Hermetia illucens)
Soldier Worms, the live larvae of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), are a naturally nutritious, protein-packed, calcium-rich treat for your pet. Their balanced Calcium to Phosphorus ratio is ideal for reptiles (without the need for dusting), and can help prevent Metabolic Bone Disease.

Best mealworms I have ever bought
I had some trepidation about ordering in winter but we had a warm spell when I thought they would be safe and they were. They arrived on time packaged in a convenient cylindrical container (I ordered 1000) with a piece of paper egg carton (probably damp for a little moisture). The worms were large and as far as I could tell every one was alive and in good shape. They were also very clean and free from dirt and debris. If I need more mealworms sometime I will definitely order them from these folks again.

Value & viability
I just received my first order from this seller. I was happy to see that they all looked healthy and alive. The packaging was great. It was easy to open & remove the worms into their worm box. My dragon was delighted to munch on a few. Very pleased with this seller. Recommend them highly.

Bluebirds treats
These are the best mealworms I have bought anywhere and I live in Colorado and treat the mountain bluebirds who love their treats morning and evening. I let them be birds and hunt daytime hours. I have bought mealworms many places local and by mail orders. Well these are the healthiest BEST lively mealworms ANYWHERE! Arrived fast! They live well! Feed them oatmeal and carrots upon arrival, then store in frig in egg cartridges to protect them from freezing, they just go dormant. Then weekly feeding again. Live long stay healthy. This is now my favorite GO- TO place for my birds worms! Thank you to the owners! Great care!! ð¦ â¤ï¸

Not consistent
First order was great. Iâd been ordering from another company for over a year but decided to give these guys a try bc it was slightly cheaper. First order I was impressed with packaging and worms. The second order was packed like crickets, smaller, and not as many. I may give them another go because the difference in order 1 & 2 were so inconsistent maybe it was just a new employee.
