Description
Mealworms are the larval stage of the Tenebrio molitor darkling beetle and serve as a favored food source for many small reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids, such as leopard geckos and tarantulas.
Our pre-packaged mealworms offer a hassle-free option for enthusiasts seeking an easy-to-use alternative to bulk feeders, and are ideal for pet shops or resellers looking for a polished, ready-to-sell product. These large mealworms measure about 1″ long.

Storage Guidelines:
Keep mealworms refrigerated at a temperature range of 42 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. A wine cooler or the upper shelf of a refrigerator door works well. At this temperature, they enter dormancy and remain in excellent condition for up to a month.
Before feeding, lightly coat with calcium powder for added nutrition.
