{"product_id":"morio-bag-of-500g","title":"Morio (Bag of 500g)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMorio worms are one of the most widely used feeder insects in reptile keeping, and this 500g bag delivers a substantial supply for keepers feeding larger lizards or multiple animals. Large-bodied, active, and highly nutritious, morios are gut-loaded before packing at the source — so what arrives at your door is genuinely ready to feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNutrition and Feeding Frequency\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMorio worms have a high fat content relative to other feeder insects, which makes them an excellent condition food but one best used in rotation rather than as a daily staple. Feeding two to three times per week as part of a varied diet is the typical approach for most lizard species. Their size and movement make them particularly effective at triggering a feeding response in larger, more discerning animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable Animals\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdult bearded dragons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue tongue skinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitor lizards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge amphibians and insectivorous invertebrates including mantis and tarantulas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackaging and Transit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMorios arrive in a ventilated plastic tub with small air holes along the sides to maintain airflow and keep the worms contained. The outer packaging is adapted seasonally — additional perforations are added during warmer months, and a heat pack may be included during colder periods to protect the worms throughout the journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKeeping Your Morios Healthy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts. Feed them regularly on fresh leafy greens, carrots, squash, or sweet potato — these keep the worms hydrated and nutritionally loaded. Remove uneaten food daily to prevent mould. Well-maintained morios are significantly more beneficial to your reptile than neglected ones, both in nutritional content and digestibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGut-Loading and Supplementation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause these worms are dispatched directly from the breeder already gut-loaded, they arrive in good nutritional condition. To maintain and build on this before feeding, continue offering fresh produce or a specialist gut-loading diet. Dusting with an appropriate calcium or vitamin supplement at feeding time is recommended as part of a complete nutritional approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA reliable, high-output feeder insect that earns its place in any serious lizard keeper's rotation — particularly for species that need size, movement, and caloric density from their food.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54146957410641,"sku":"A30900","price":23.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/A30900_1.jpg?v=1782721436","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/morio-bag-of-500g","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
