Mealworms - Tenebrio molitor The mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) is one of the oldest commercially bred feeder animals. They are relatively easy to breed. For birds in small quantities also for reptiles The mealworm is actually the beetle larva of the meal beetle. It hatches from an egg and grows to a size of approx. 25 mm after moulting several times. Eventually the beetle larva pupates, from which a beetle emerges again. Mealworms are among the oldest commercially bred feeder animals. They are relatively easy to breed and are produced in large quantities. Mealworms are actually pests which are mainly known from grain mills, as the larvae prefer to feed on flour or its waste products. As it is not possible to use insecticides in mills, an infestation is difficult to control. Mealworms are a classic food for soft-feeding birds. Hundreds of tons of these beetle larvae are produced throughout Europe every year for this purpose. A bird's stomach is well adapted to this type of food. A mealworm consists largely of a hard, chitinous shell and, due to its fairly simple diet, contains few nutrients. The stomach of a reptile, on the other hand, is not well adapted to these conditions. If too many or only mealworms are fed to reptiles, deficiency symptoms or obesity can occur. You can also see from the animals' faeces that mealworms are only poorly digested. Feeding mealworms with vegetables or fruit before feeding only has the effect of a certain vitaminization, which could also be achieved by dusting the beetle larvae with a vitamin preparation. The high fat content of mealworms is another reason why the larvae should only be given to reptiles as supplementary food. For many bird lovers, however, they represent the staple food of their favourites and this is mainly what they are bred for. At temperatures below 10 degrees C. the animals become motionless but are not dead. This can be utilised for storage. At temperatures of 6-8 degrees C. the animals can be stored for several weeks without food.Order by Sunday evening - delivery on ThursdayOrders received by Sunday evening will be sent by A-Post on Wednesday or Thursday.Please provide a recipient address where the parcel can be delivered.We accept no responsibility for parcels that are delivered late or collected late.
