Minibeasts Mealworms 100g

Mealworms are high in protein and considered a good food staple for pets. Protein is important for energy, muscle building and cell maintenance. They also contain roughly ±13% fat, useful for absorption of vitamins, fat stores for egg laying, and maintaining body temperature.

Did you know the Tenebrio Molitor, a.k.a. the mealworm, isn't actually a worm? It's a beetle in its larvae phase. Keeping your mealworms cool (even in the fridge) will slow their development, and reduce them going into pupae.
