60g of mealworm larvae

Dried mealworm larvae for keepers who feed insectivores and want a shelf-stable protein supplement that does not need to be bred or stored live. The 60 g pack suits owners of birds, hedgehogs, opossums, rodents, predatory fish, amphibians and reptiles, and is offered as a supplement to the regular diet.

Why it matters

• Protein source: the supplier describes the larvae as a source of protein for insectivorous animals.
• Breeding support: the supplier notes that birds readily take mealworm larvae during preparation for breeding and while raising young.
• Portion guidance by species: the supplier gives per-animal amounts, from 2 to 4 larvae every few days for parrots and small rodents, up to 3 to 10 larvae daily for hedgehogs, opossums and wild songbirds, and 2 to 10 daily for predatory fish, depending on body size.
• Broad use: the supplier states the larvae can be offered to any insectivorous animal, with separate amounts listed for amphibians and reptiles.

What it works with

The product fits mixed-diet setups for insectivorous birds, hedgehogs, rodents and opossums, and can be added to diets of predatory aquarium fish, amphibians and reptiles such as agamas, monitors, leopard geckos and water turtles, as listed by the supplier. Portions should be adjusted to the size of each animal, and the supplier's recommended frequency (every few days for small rodents and parrots, daily for the other groups) should guide the quantity offered.
