Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our mealworms
With proper storage in a refrigerator at 7-10°C (45-50°F), live mealworms can last 4-6 weeks. Keep them in a well-ventilated container with substrate like oats or bran, and they'll remain fresh and healthy for your pets.
Store mealworms in a plastic container with ventilation holes in your refrigerator at 7-10°C. Add a substrate like oats, bran, or wheat germ (about 2-3cm deep), and include a slice of potato or carrot for moisture. Check weekly and remove any dead worms to maintain quality.
Our mealworms are perfect for reptiles (bearded dragons, geckos, lizards), birds (chickens, wild birds), fish, amphibians, tarantulas, and small mammals like hedgehogs. We offer different sizes to suit various pet needs - from small mealworms for young pets to large ones for adult animals.
We offer standard delivery (2-3 working days) and next-day delivery options. Orders placed before 2pm on weekdays are dispatched the same day. All mealworms are carefully packaged with substrate and ventilation to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.
We guarantee live arrival! If your mealworms arrive dead or in poor condition, contact us within 24 hours with photos and we'll send a replacement or provide a full refund. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we stand behind the quality of our products.
Feeding amounts vary by pet type and size. As a general guide: small reptiles need 5-10 mealworms per feeding, medium reptiles 10-20, and large reptiles 20-30. For chickens, offer 10-20 per bird as treats. Check our detailed pet food guides for specific recommendations for your animal.
