Superworms
(Zophobas Morio)
Superworms are the larvae of a different beetle than a mealworm. They are usually sold larger than mealworms, ranging between 1 ½" to 2" in length but they do come smaller. They are known for their digestibility and long shelf life. (To a point, the smaller you get them, the longer they last as they grow but many larger lizards don’t like them too small. It’s a balancing act.)
They must be fed and given a water source, such as carrots, or potato chunks. They also must be kept at room temperature with fresh feed, such as wheat bran or oatmeal. Usually the container they come in is ok as long as you add the carrot or potato. (Do not keep cold like meal worms or they will die!)
Superworms are used by reptile enthusiasts and fisherman alike. Superworms are very fast moving and somewhat aggressive; perfect for the predacious instinct of reptiles. Chickens that like Meal worms might also enjoy a change to Superworms.
