Using live mealworms as part of your pet’s diet offers numerous advantages. Since they are live feeders, they retain more moisture than dried alternatives, helping with hydration—especially important for species like leopard geckos and chickens. The chitin in their exoskeleton also aids in digestion, while their high protein levels support muscle growth and energy. As one of the most convenient Feeder insects, mealworms can be easily bred at home or purchased from trusted suppliers. Many pet stores and online retailers offer mealworms for sale in various sizes, making them suitable for both small hatchlings and larger adult animals.
