🌿 Why Superworms?
Superworms (Zophobas morio) are the big, active cousins of mealworms — larger, meatier, and packed with energy. They’re an excellent choice for reptiles, amphibians, birds, and even some mammals that need a high-fat, high-protein treat or boost.
🏆 Key Benefits
- Larger size (~1.5–2 inches) for bigger pets
- Higher fat content (~17%) — great for energy
- More active and wiggly — stimulates natural hunting instincts
- No refrigeration needed (they thrive at room temperature)
- Long shelf life with proper care
🛡 Nutritional Profile
| Nutrient | Value (approx.) |
|---|---|

Tip: Gut-load superworms with nutritious foods like fruits, veggies, or grains before feeding to maximize their nutritional impact!
