Mealworms, known scientifically as Tenebrio molitor, are rich in protein and provide a balanced diet with moderate fat levels, making them an excellent choice for a variety of pets. Their nutritional profile supports healthy growth and energy, making them a staple in the diet of many reptiles, amphibians, birds, and even some tarantulas.

These small mealworms average about 0.5 to 0.75 inches in size, making them ideal for smaller pets or those with specific dietary needs. For optimal freshness and longevity, store mealworms in a cool, dry place.
