Free Fedex 2 Day shipping on Super Mealworms!
Our mealworms are fed a chemical free diet and are easy to store.
Super worms are kept at room temp around 75 to 80 they are kept in bran with an apple, carrot or potato cube for water.
The next time you feed the mealworms remove the old apple, potato or banana cubes and replace them with new ones. It is very important that you remove any moldy apples, potatoes or bananas or they will kill the Mealworms.
Superworms must be kept at room temperature. Any
colder than 60° or hotter than 85° and they will rapidly
start to die. Because of this they can't be stored in the
refrigerator.
Because of their castings, Superworms in a tray can be
20° hotter than the surrounding air. Be sure they are being
sifted every 3 to 4 days to keep them cool in summer time.
The wheat bran bedding should be no more than 2" deep (we keep ours at
1.5") so that heat and moisture can escape through the
wheat bran bedding and not be 'trapped'. The heat, moisture, and
castings are the perfect combination for bacteria or fungus
to develop on your bedding material causing a bad odor.
You might want to consider only feeding carrots, as they
are high in both starch and water content. This prevents
them from releasing moisture into your bedding as the vegetables
are eaten or decompose. Dry bedding is crucial to Superworm
health.
Mealworms are the larval form of the adult darkling beetle; they are not really worms at all.
Mealworms feed on stored grain or flour that is why they are usually raised in a mixture of wheat bran bedding and fresh vegetables. This diet makes them extremely appetizing and nutritious for wild bird food, reptile food, small mammal food as well as exceptional live bait for pan fish. Mealworms have become a very popular and inexpensive live bird food. The Mealworms attract many different birds to your backyard, Bluebirds, Robins, Chickadees, Wrens, Titmice, Warblers, and Nuthatches are a few birds that love them. They can be fed in any Bluebird feeder, in any dish or even on the ground.
