- Part of a healthy, varied diet for many reptiles, wild birds, poultry, fish, and other animals. Use as a treat or supplemental food.

Notes
- Mealworms are the larval stage of Tenebrio Molitor, a species of darkling beetle.
- No hormones or chemicals are used to delay or alter their development. They will continue to develop normally after purchase, so you might find pupae in the mealworm container - this is normal. Many animals will readily eat the pupae.
- Prefer slightly larger mealworms? Just let us know in the "order notes" field during checkout and we'll fill your order with larvae averaging 1" (7/8" to 1 1/8").
Packaging
- Packed with fresh wheat bran in a heavy-duty paper container with vented lid, the mealworms are ready to feed immediately or to store until needed.
- Reusable containers are available for repeat orders.
- We value our mealworms and take excellent care of them. Preparing them for delivery can stress them a little, though, so we add extra to every order to account for any loss.
