Questions & Answers

Can these reproduce for farming?

Answer by ChewyApr 29, 2021
These meal worms can be bred and raised. You can start with as few as 150 live mealworms, but it is recommended starting off with at least 500.

what do I feed them

Answer by ChewyAug 27, 2021
Add about ½ cup of fresh (raw) vegetables to your mealworm storage container for feeding. Cut raw potatoes and raw carrots into 1 inch x 3 inches pieces and spread throughout the container for the mealworms. The mealworms may pull the food under the bedding to eat it, which is completely normal. Some moisture is necessary for the mealworms to drink. While the raw vegetables contain some moisture, it is best to add more by using Thirsty Cricket (gel water source). To gut load, mix Mealworm Chow in with the Mealworm Keeper at a 1:9 ratio (1/3 cup of Chow per 3 cups Keeper).

why did i receive babies?

Answer by ChewyOct 17, 2021
The duration of the life cycle will depend on the temperature the mealworms are stored. If all goes well, you should have mealworms to use as feeders within about 3 months. The mealworm will stay in the larvae stage for about 4-6 weeks. The duration of the pupa stage usually lasts around 1-3 weeks. Once the pupa turns into an adult beetle it will reproduce and lay eggs until the life cycle ends and the beetle dies. With this being stated, mealworms are constantly growing in size due to being in the larva stage. Colder temperatures will help to prolong the larva from turning into Pupa.

How long can they be stored?

Answer by ChewyAug 13, 2021
Upon arrival, transfer the worms from the bag to a breathable smooth-sided storage container and place in the refrigerator. Meal worms will last approximately 4 weeks refrigerated.

So I have been order 1000 crocketa and mealworms every 2 weeks and my first order was fine delivered on time and early enough in the day that it was too hot. My second order? Now, that is a totally different story. So, it was originally scheduled for delivery yesterday, but was delayed until today, then the were supposed to bring the between 11 and 3. They were not delivered until 5:44 pm. And I didnt get a notification about delivery until over an hour later! Needless to say, every single mealworm was dead when I opened the package. They are supposed to issue s refund, but I have d yet to see it. So we will see

I know delivery is not necessarily Chewy's fault, but this was marked perishable and left on my doorstep with no doorbell or knock (FedEx). My husband was home listening for delivery. These live worms sat out on the porch for an hour in the afternoon sun. The worms are loose in a bag and I don't know how to get them all out easily like in the containers.

These were not “jumbo” at all. They were no bigger than the tiny ones you get at the feed store. My box also arrived crushed and the bag was untied enough that there were escapees in the box. Won’t order them again.

Very disappointed

Worms took too long to get here. And worms were not in good shape. Will not be ordering again.

Sadly worms got warm and most of them died.

The delivery person has put them on the stairs in the sun when I came and discovered them most of them were not moving anymore. I still put them in their habitat

The delivery person has put them on the stairs in the sun when I came and discovered them most of them were not moving anymore. I still put them in their habitat where they get fed and have meal to hide. But over the next days they turn black and started stinking.

Good quality worms, but slow shipping and canceled order were frustrating. The first time I ordered, shipping took a bit longer than I expected. However, I really liked that the worms came in a mesh bag inside another bag, it made transferring them into a container so much easier. I prefer this over the ones packed in sawdust, which can be messy and hard to sort through. That part was a big plus for me. The worms were medium-sized mealworms and looked very healthy. Most arrived alive, which was great. I gave it four stars because the second time I tried to order, I really needed them, and it took a whole week before I was told my order was canceled. If they’re in stock, I would definitely order again, just wish the communication and shipping were faster.
