Vers géants / Superworms

Product description:
Giant mealworms are highly appreciated feeder insects for their good size and great palatability, perfect for varying the diet of several reptiles, amphibians, and other insectivorous animals.
Special feature: these are mealworms that have undergone a treatment that prevents their transformation into beetles, allowing them to continue growing and reach a “giant” size.

Usage tips:
Offer a prey size appropriate for the animal
Sprinkle with calcium + vitamins if needed before feeding
Storage / lifespan: generally 2 weeks to 1 month depending on conditions.

The worms are raised in Quebec.

Also known as Morio worms and “superworms,” they look like mealworms, but they are giant. Their nutritional value is poor, hence the importance of sprinkling them with multivitamins and calcium. Not noisy, economical, they have no unpleasant odor and require a little more space for their accommodation than mealworms. Keep giant mealworms in a dry substrate such as oatmeal, chicken feed, cornmeal or a regular cereal.
Offer them slices of carrot and newspaper in several thicknesses that you moisten occasionally, which could serve as hiding places and a water bowl. They can also be kept in the refrigerator for a long time.
