Small Mealworms

Mealworms are the larval stage of the darkling beetle, scientifically known as Tenebrio molitor. They are a favored food choice for numerous small or juvenile reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids, such as leopard geckos and tarantulas. Our pre-packaged mealworms offer a hassle-free option for hobbyists seeking an alternative to loose or bagged feeders. They are also ideal for pet stores and resellers looking for a neatly presented product. These small mealworms measure around 1/2" long.
