Giant Mealworms – Extra-Large, Protein-Packed Feeders for Your Pets

Our Giant Mealworms range from approximately 1 to 1 1/4 inches in length, though slight size variations can occur since they are a natural product. These larger-sized feeders are an excellent high-protein option for reptiles, amphibians, birds, and other insect-eating pets that need a heartier meal.

About Giant Mealworms:

Giant Mealworms are specially raised mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) that are larger than standard mealworms, making them ideal for bigger reptiles, amphibians, and birds. Their larger size provides more nutrition per worm and makes feeding easier for larger animals.

We offer Giant Mealworms in quantities of 100, 500, 1,000, and 2,000.

Feeding Giant Mealworms to Reptiles & Amphibians

How to Feed:

Giant Mealworms can be offered as a treat or as part of a staple diet depending on your pet’s species and nutritional needs. For best results, dust them with a vitamin and calcium supplement before feeding.

They can be fed using:

• Feeding tongs
• Feeding dishes
• Escape-proof bowls

Giant Mealworms are perfect for:

• Bearded Dragons
• Leopard Geckos
• Fat-Tailed Geckos
• Blue Tongue Skinks
• Monitors
• Tegus
• Pacman Frogs
• Large Fish
• And many other insect-eating reptiles and amphibians

Because of their larger size, Giant Mealworms are best suited for medium to large animals.

How to Store:

For counts of 100, Giant Mealworms come pre-stored on wheat bran without food—just the way you should keep them. Larger quantities may arrive with different bedding materials.

To maximize lifespan:

• Store at 45–55°F
• Keep dry and well ventilated
• Remove any dead or blackened worms

As Giant Mealworms age, they may darken or pupate. Pupae may still be fed off, but adult beetles should generally be discarded, as most pets find them less appealing.

Under proper storage conditions, Giant Mealworms can last for several weeks.

Feeding Giant Mealworms to Birds

How to Feed:

Giant Mealworms are a fantastic high-protein treat for:

• Chickens
• Wild birds
• Bluebirds
• Robins
• Cardinals
• Orioles
• And many more

Place them in a smooth-sided plastic dish or feeder to prevent escape.

Their larger size makes them especially attractive to larger bird species and provides an excellent energy boost during nesting and colder months.

How to Store:

Store Giant Mealworms the same way as reptile feeders:

• Keep at 45–55°F
• Store on bran bedding
• Discard any black worms or adult beetles

Properly stored Giant Mealworms can remain healthy and usable for several weeks.
