Bulk Giant Mealworms | Premium Live Feeders
Giant mealworms are approximately 4 times the thickness of regular mealworms and measure between 1.25" and 1.75" long. These worms are the perfect "middle ground" for reptiles that want a worm larger than the standard mealworm, but not as big as a superworm.
Mid-size Bearded Dragons, Leopard Geckos, Chameleons, wild birds, and chickens love them.
