Morio (Bag of 250g)

Morio worms are one of the most widely used livefoods in reptile keeping, and for good reason. Large, active, and nutritious, they're particularly well suited to bigger lizards and amphibians that need a substantial, protein-rich feeder. This 250g bag is gut-loaded before dispatch to maximise nutritional content on arrival.

Nutritional Profile and Feeding Frequency

Morio worms deliver solid nutritional value but carry a higher fat content than staple feeders such as locusts or crickets. For this reason, they're best offered as a treat rather than a daily staple — once or twice a week is a sensible guide for most animals. Their size makes them an appropriate choice for larger, more confident feeders.

Suitable Species

• Adult bearded dragons
• Blue tongue skinks
• Monitor lizards
• Large amphibians and insectivorous invertebrates, including mantis and tarantulas

Packaging and Transit

Morio worms in this 250g bag arrive in a ventilated plastic tub with small air holes along the sides to maintain airflow during transit. During warmer months, the outer cardboard box may feature additional perforations for temperature regulation. In colder conditions, a heat pack may be included to protect the worms during delivery.

Keeping and Gut-Loading

To maintain condition between delivery and feeding, keep morio worms at room temperature away from direct sunlight and draughts. Feed them regularly with fresh leafy greens, carrots, squash, or sweet potato — these provide hydration and nutritional content that transfers directly to your reptile. Remove uneaten food daily to prevent spoilage. Well-maintained worms are significantly more beneficial to your animal than neglected ones.

Animal Suitability and Use

Morio worms are bred in controlled conditions and dispatched directly from the breeder. Their size makes them most appropriate for adult or larger animals; they are not well suited to hatchlings or small juveniles that would struggle to handle them safely.

Keeping livefood properly and feeding it well right up until the point of use is one of the most straightforward ways to improve your animal's nutrition. These morio worms arrive ready to feed, but a little ongoing care ensures they deliver their full benefit.
