## Description

Larvae of the Darkling Beetle

Review: Bluebird Candy! - This is an amazing product! This is actually our third order in three weeks! We are feeding our bluebirds who are nesting and they are gobbling them down as fast as we can put them out! We are also getting migratory Orioles that love them. Our Titmice and Carolina wrens also eat them, though are not as greedy as the bluebirds! Our first order I bought just 2200 and they were gone in 7-8 days. Our second order was 4400 and they were gone in 10 to 12 days. Our third order is 8800 and I’m hoping it will last a little bit longer! I store our meal worms in a three drawer wheeled plastic cart I got at Target inexpensively. The bedding is oat bran and I use apples as the water/moisture source. They stay perfectly healthy in the set up. I only have two minimal complaints. One is that as fast as we are going through them I wish they did a bulk discount! The second is figuring out when they’re going to arrive has been a little tricky. I get them delivered to my office (so our dogs don’t get killed by the crazy delivery drivers!) and the shipping always says it’s going to take about 7 to 8 days. All orders have ended up arriving about the 5 to 6 day mark. Because of this, my first two orders ended up getting delivered on the weekend and put in our outdoor mailbox. UPS tracking on them has been dismal. They have done practically no updates until they arrive. The second order got delivered on a Saturday and I didn’t realize it until Sunday morning. They sat in the mailbox at almost freezing temperatures all night long. I was sure they were going be dead by the time I got to them on Sunday. Wrong! They were all alive and perfect! We have had no dead worms in any of the orders and while I did not count them I think 2200 is accurate! I strongly recommend this supplier - they are wonderful!!!
Review: Healthy, Full Count, Excellent product - I ordered these at least a month ago. Every one was alive when I received it and I still haven't found a dead one. There were definitely 1000+ mealworms. A few extra small bugs were included but it didn't bother me to pull them out and release them outdoors. They are very small compared to what my dragon is used to eating so I just tripled his daily quantity. However, buying 30 large mealworms for $6 from pet store compared to 1000 small mealworms for $14 is no competition. They were shipped well and quickly. The box was aerated and the worms were protected. I dumped them into a medium Tupperware (with airholes poked in the lid). I filled the Tupperware with mealworm bran flakes (also ordered from desertcart) which protects them, gives them space from each other and feeds them all at once. A month later, I still have about 300 mealworms left. This was a very high quality, high value purchase and I will buy from them again! I SUPPOSE THEY TASTE YUMMY. OUR DRAGON CERTAINlY ENJOYS THEM AND IS VERY HEALTHY!
