Zoo Med Can O' Mini Mealies brings the convenience of ready-to-serve feeder insects to reptile and small animal keepers.

Quick Product Snapshot

Ingredient and Design Breakdown

The main ingredient is small mealworms, a widely accepted feeder insect for insectivorous reptiles, birds, and small animals. The retorting process cooks the mealworms inside the sealed can, preserving freshness without artificial preservatives and softening the exoskeleton to improve digestibility. The small size of these mealworms makes them particularly suitable for smaller reptiles and animals that may struggle with standard-sized mealworms.

The 1.2 oz can format is designed for single-use convenience, keeping each serving fresh from the moment it is opened.

Setup and Compatibility Guidance

Can O' Mini Mealies are suitable for most lizards, turtles, fish, birds, and small animals. They can be offered directly from the can, placed in a feeding dish, or used as a hand-feeding treat for enrichment and bonding. Remove any uneaten portions promptly, especially in aquatic habitats, to maintain water quality.

Care and Maintenance

Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate any unused portion and use within 24 hours. Remove uneaten food from the habitat promptly to prevent spoilage or water quality issues.
