How to Feed
Superworms can be fed as a treat or staple, depending on the animals you're feeding, but should not make up the bulk of the diet of your pet. Make sure to dust superworms with a proper vitamin and mineral supplement before being fed to your pet. Feed superworms using feeding tongs or in a worm dish.
Superworms are great feeder insects for: leopard geckos, crested geckos, fat tail geckos, bearded dragons, lizards, geckos, wild birds, and fish. Many common pet reptiles, such as bearded dragons, absolutely love superworms.
How to Store
When Josh's Frogs ships superworms they are already stored on aspen bedding with food. Keep superworms at room temperature. As superworms go bad, they will become dark in color and eventually turn black and spoil. Discard any black superworms. Older superworms may pupate. These pupae may still be offered to your pet. Discard adult beetles, as most animals find these distasteful. Under ideal conditions, superworms should keep for several weeks.
