Giant Mealworms

Caliber Exotic Supply Giant Mealworms are premium live feeder insects ideal for a wide variety of reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and invertebrates. Larger than standard mealworms, they provide an excellent source of protein and fat for insectivorous and omnivorous animals while encouraging natural hunting and feeding behaviors. Giant mealworms are an excellent choice for bearded dragons, leopard geckos, tegus, monitors, skinks, turtles, hedgehogs, poultry, and many other species capable of consuming larger prey. For optimal nutrition, gut-load mealworms with a quality diet for 24–48 hours before feeding and dust with calcium or vitamin supplements when appropriate for your animal. Store giant mealworms in a well-ventilated container with wheat bran or similar bedding at 8–15°C to slow development and maximize shelf life. Provide moisture using fresh vegetables such as carrots or potatoes, avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat, and remove uneaten insects from the enclosure after feeding to maintain a clean and healthy habitat.
