Canned Giant Superworms for Large Lizards and Turtles
Zoo Med Can O' Superworms delivers farm-raised giant mealworms cooked and preserved right in the can, offering a convenient, ready-to-feed option for keepers of large reptiles. Retort-cooked inside the sealed can, the superworms are preserved at peak freshness with a softened exoskeleton for easier digestion, making them a practical alternative to live feeder insects.
Formulated for larger reptiles, Can O' Superworms is ideal for adult bearded dragons, monitors, tegus, Asian box turtles, American box turtles, and aquatic turtles. The larger worm size provides a more substantial feeding option suited to the appetite and jaw size of bigger animals.
