Description

Mealworms are a tasty and nutritious treat for many insectivorous pets, including:

  • Reptiles (bearded dragons, blue tongue lizards, geckos, hermit crabs etc.)
  • Birds (chickens, quail, etc.)
  • Mammals ( sugar gliders, etc.)
  • Fish (certain aquarium fish species)

Benefits:

  • High in protein and fat, providing essential energy for your pet
  • Rich source of chitin, which can aid in molting and digestion
  • Easy to digest and generally well-tolerated by most insectivores

Feeding Instructions:

  • Offer mealworms live to your pet for maximum engagement and enrichment.
  • The appropriate amount depends on your pet's size and species. Consult a veterinarian or experienced pet owner for specific feeding guidelines.
  • As a general rule, offer a few mealworms a few times per week, adjusting based on your pet's appetite and overall diet.

Storage:

  • Keep mealworms in a cool, dry place in a ventilated container with wheat bran or oatmeal.
  • Replace food source regularly to prevent spoilage and mold growth.
  • Mealworms can be stored in the refrigerator for longer lifespan (up to several months), but be sure to warm them up to room temperature before feeding to your pet.

Warning:

  • Purchase mealworms from reputable pet stores to ensure they are raised on a healthy diet free of pesticides or harmful chemicals.

Additional Information:

  • Mealworms are a readily available and affordable live feeder option.
  • They are a natural source of nutrients, mimicking your pet's insectivorous diet in the wild.
