Giant Mealworms (Zophobas Morio) | Large

Crazy Critters offers you the convenience of high-quality live feeder insects delivered to your door!

Our giant mealworms (giants) are available in 3 different sizes: 

• small giants (15-20 mm)
• medium giants (25-30 mm)
• large giants (40-50 mm)

These are a tropical species that are naturally much larger than the common mealworm. Crazy Critters giants are not hormone-treated.

It is recommended to only feed our large giants to adult (or full-size) medium-to-large animals, such as:

• bearded dragons 
• blue tongue lizards
• chickens, ducks, geese, guinea fowls
• cockatoos, galahs, kookaburras and magpies 
• forest dragons
• gliders and possums
• green tree frogs
• predatory fish
• turtles
• water dragons
• wildlife 

Crazy Critters small and medium giant mealworms are more appropriately sized for smaller animals.  

Note: giant mealworms are also commonly referred to as superworms, morio worms, and zophobas.

The term 'superworm' is often used interchangeably and may refer to common mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) grown larger than their natural size due to the use of chemical hormone inhibitors.  

Storage

We recommend that you: 

• unpack your giants on arrival to reduce the risk of losses
  
  
• DO NOT REFRIGERATE! 
  Giants are a tropical species that can not tolerate temperatures of 12˚C or lower for any extended periods
  
  
• when feeding your pet: remove giants from their storage container 24-48 hours beforehand and gutload
