Live Mealworms Loose in Tray 2.5kg | Reptile Livefood

Live mealworms supplied loose in a 2.5kg tray — a bulk livefood option suited to keepers running multiple animals or feeding regularly. Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) are one of the most widely used feeder insects in reptile keeping, offering a practical, readily accepted food source for a broad range of lizards, amphibians, and invertebrates.

What You're Getting

This is a loose tray format, meaning the mealworms arrive together rather than in individual pre-counted portions. At 2.5kg, this is a bulk quantity intended for frequent feeders. Mealworms at this stage are the larval form of the beetle Tenebrio molitor, with a firm body that makes them easy for animals to detect and consume.

Suitable Species

Mealworms are accepted by a wide range of commonly kept reptiles and other exotic pets, including leopard geckos, bearded dragons, blue-tongued skinks, day geckos, and many amphibians such as toads and larger frogs. They are also a staple for insectivorous birds and some invertebrate species kept in captivity.

Feeding and Storage Guidance

• Dust with a calcium and vitamin supplement before feeding to maintain nutritional balance
• Gut-load mealworms with fresh vegetables or specialist gut-load feed for 24–48 hours prior to feeding for improved nutritional content
<
• Use a smooth-sided dish when offering to prevent escape into the vivarium substrate

A reliable, high-volume livefood that reduces restocking frequency for keepers who feed mealworms as part of a regular rotation. Buying loose in bulk ensures you always have a ready supply on hand without the overhead of managing multiple small packs.
