What you’ve always heard about variety is true – it is the spice of life! Even though crickets are the staple of most reptile diets, every good herp deserves a healthy treat. You’ll love your pet’s reaction when you spice things up with mealworms or giant mealworms. Mealworms are a great way to provide the diversity reptiles and amphibians crave, and the complete diet they need. Giant Mealworms, the larger cousin of the standard mealworm, are also available. Crickets are great, but all crickets and no worms make your pet a dull herp! Mealworms also make the perfect treat for bluebirds and other wild birds. When you offer mealworms to your backyard birds, you can attract a variety of songbirds, too! You’ll find mealworms will stimulate your pet’s appetite and encourage exercise, all while providing the nutrients your pet requires – just the way nature intended!
Each order of mealworms or giants comes with detailed care instructions. Please read and follow these simple instructions – because a healthy worm is a tasty worm! During cold weather, your worms are shipped in special winter boxes to ensure live delivery.Care Instructions
Your mealworms and giant mealworms are shipped in a box containing egg crate. The worms should be transferred to a shoebox sized plastic container. Drill a liberal number of holes in the lid of the container, and fill it with about 1” of mealworm bedding. Add your worms, and then layer another 1” of bedding over the top. Mealworms can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks with very little maintenance. After two weeks, remove your worms from the refrigerator and add a small amount of gelled water, or a few slices of potato to the top of the bedding. Allow the mealworms to stay at room temperature for about 24 hours; this allows them to become active enough to eat and drink (the bedding is their food source). After 24 hours, remove the gelled water or potato and place the worms back into the refrigerator. Repeat this process on a two-week schedule to keep your worms healthy and tasty!
