Superworms

Superworms are a staple diet for most insectivores as well as omnivores and carnivores. Superworms and Giant mealworms are not the same species.  Superworms are the larvae of the darkling beetle (Zophobas morio) and make a very nutritious meal for your reptile. They are accepted by lizards, leopard geckos, crested geckos, fat tail geckos, bearded dragons, turtles, large frogs, large salamanders, birds, koi fish, arowana fish, and piranhas. Keep your superworms at room temperature or slightly below room temperature and feed fruits, veggies, grains, Repashy Superload. They especially love butternut squash and will eat it clean off the peels. Superworms will keep for a long time! To prevent from beetling, keep them all together. Do not put superworms in the fridge!

We do not recommend superworms as feed for any reptiles that are still in juvenile stages. The chitin on the exoskeleton of superworms may be difficult to digest in younger reptiles. When feeding superworms, be sure that your pet is mature enough to chew the superworms appropriately before swallowing. Young ones sometimes will get too excited and forget to chew before they swallow.

How to Feed

Superworms can be fed as a treat or staple, depending on the animals you’re feeding, but should not make up the bulk of the diet of your pet. Make sure to dust superworms with a proper vitamin and mineral supplement before being fed to your pet. Feed superworms using feeding tongs or in a worm dish.
