Frequently Asked Questions

What are mealworms (Tenebrio molitor), and what makes them suitable for reptiles?

Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) are the larvae of darkling beetles. They provide a high-protein, nutrient-dense food source, making them an excellent choice for lizards, amphibians, and birds.

How should I store mealworms to keep them fresh?

Mealworms will need to be transferred as soon as possible to a shallow plastic container. Add extra wheat bran as necessary and feed with sliced carrots.

For longer storage place in the crisper of a refrigerator. Every few weeks they should be allowed to come to room temperature and fed with fresh wheat bran and carrot slices before they are re-chilled.
