Medium Worms 70-90mm

Dendrobaena worms are a well-established live food staple for reptile and amphibian keepers. This pre-pack of 15 medium-sized worms (50–100mm) is suited to larger species that need a more substantial feed item, dispatched directly from the breeder and gut-loaded before packing to arrive in peak nutritional condition.

Nutritional Profile

Dendrobaenas are highly nutritious but carry a higher fat content than some other feeder invertebrates. This makes them an excellent treat or supplement to a varied diet rather than a sole staple — offering them once or twice a week is a sound approach for most species. Gut-loading before dispatch means your animals benefit from every feed.

Suitable Species

Medium Dendrobaenas work well for a range of larger reptiles, amphibians, and aquatic animals. Commonly fed to:

• Bearded Dragons
• Blue Tongue Skinks
• Pacman Frogs
• New Caledonian Giant Geckos
• Box Turtles
• Axolotls

Packaging and Transit

Worms arrive in a sealed, ventilated plastic tub with side air holes to maintain airflow while keeping the contents secure. During warmer months the outer box may include additional perforations for ventilation; in colder conditions a heat pack may be included to maintain safe transit temperatures.

Keeping Your Worms in Good Condition

Store Dendrobaenas at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts. Continue gut-loading them right up until use — fresh leafy greens, carrot, squash, or sweet potato all work well, providing both hydration and nutrients. Remove any uneaten food daily to prevent mould and keep the tub clean.

Feeding Guide

• Offer once or twice weekly as part of a varied live food rotation
• Continue gut-loading with fresh vegetables until the worms are used
• Remove any uneaten worms from the vivarium promptly after feeding
• Well-fed, active worms deliver significantly better nutritional value to your animals

Sourced from ethical, farm-bred stock and dispatched fresh, these Dendrobaenas are a reliable live food addition for any keeper working with larger reptiles or amphibians.
