CUP Live Mini Mealworms

Mini mealworms, scientifically known as Tenebrio molitor, are a popular choice among pet owners for their excellent nutritional benefits. These small feeders are rich in protein and provide a moderate amount of fat, making them an ideal supplement for a variety of pets. Their balanced nutritional profile supports healthy growth and energy levels, making them a staple in the diet of many reptiles, amphibians, and birds.

Mini mealworms typically measure around 0.5 inches in length, making them perfect for smaller pets or those that prefer smaller prey. For optimal storage, mini mealworms should be kept refrigerated, which helps to slow their metabolism and extend their shelf life. However, they can also be stored at room temperature for short periods if needed.
