Giant Worm Care

Giant Mealworms are relatively easy to keep

Refrigerator Instructions

  • Keep Giant Mealworms in the refrigerator (~40°), do not place by the crisper drawers in your fridge as this can freeze them.
  • Remove them once a week and put a slice of fruit or vegetable in the cup. 
  • Leave out for ~12 hours at this time, then remove the fruit or vegetable slice and return them to the refrigerator.
  • Replace bedding as required (will look sandy when requiring replacement). 
  • You can use wheat bran or rolled oats for a bedding source.
  • When you are ready to use them, remove the desired amount and leave at room temperature until they become active, roughly 24 hours before feeding to your animal (this is a great time to gutload them).

Your Giant Worms should last for weeks.
