Mack's Natural Reptile Food Medium Standard Mealworms offer perfect nutrition for your pet reptiles. Live mealworms are also ideal for free range poultry, live treats for wild birds, and fishing bait. Live reptile food is shipped with special packaging to ensure quality. Common Name: Standard Mealworm. Scientific Name: Tenebrio molitor.

  • Live Arrival Guaranteed - Boxes of live reptile food are packed with a 10% over-count to cover a small number of losses that may occur in shipping
  • In the winter, live mealworms may feel cold to the touch and seem lethargic or even appear to be dead; allow them to warm up slowly and avoid putting them in a hot room or directly under a heat lamp as rapid temperature changes can be harmful
  • Insects will usually recover if given time to acclimate (sometimes it will take a few hours), even if they appear dead on arrival
  • When insects are first received, they will probably have some degree of stress from shipping; open all shipping boxes and remove the insects immediately upon arrival
  • In extreme winter temperatures, your shipment may arrive with heat packs, which help to keep the insects at a safe temperature during transit, but can cause overheating if packages are left closed up after delivery
  • Easy to keep for weeks in the refrigerator as they are packed when you receive them
  • For longer storage, remove paper products from the shipping container and place worms in a plastic tub with wheat bran or oatmeal; punch holes in lid as they require lots of air
  • Every 2-3 weeks, take mealworms out of the refrigerator for 24 hours and during that time, place moist food, such as carrots, apple or lettuce, in with them - after 24 hours, take what is left of the moist food out and put them back in the refrigerator
  • If kept unrefrigerated, when mealworms run out of food, they will begin to pupate into their beetle form so that they are more mobile and can go in search of food
  • Great reptile food, fishing bait and more
  • Live insect orders ship Monday through Thursday

Q: How big is the container that will go in my fridge?  I need to know if I have enough space (have growing teenage boy....)

5 years ago
2 Answers
  • A: I have 3 dragons don’t refrigerate my worms. I divide the 2000 worms up into 4 cricket containers. First there’s a bed of oatmeal. Then the worms. On top of the worms I put left over raw vegetables that I feed the dragons. Then I put an egg crate in each container. The worms sit on top of a coffee table until all gone. I would not put the original cardboard container in my fridge. For 2000 worms, there are two containers - maybe the size of a fat tissue box.

Q: Do the mealworms come with information about how to raise them and house them long term?

7 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: The shipments do come with instructions for short term and long term care. They do not have information about breeding/raising mealworms. Here is some more detailed information as well: Mealworms will last for a few weeks if kept in the refrigerator as they packed upon arrival. For longer storage they will require some extra care. Remove paper products from the shipping container and place worms in a plastic tub with wheat bran or oatmeal. Punch holes in the lid of the tub as they require lots of air. Every 2-3 weeks, take mealworms out of the refrigerator for 24 hours and during that time place moist food such as carrots, apple, or lettuce in with them. After 24 hours, take what is left of the moist food out and put them back in the refrigerator. Mealworms will reproduce if allowed to pupate to their adult beetle stage.

Loose worms

As far as I could tell, they were all alive. Just beware when you open the box, there is no container, just brown wrapping paper and worms. Be prepared to have something to put them in. 🤣

Smelly lots of dead/black worms

I’ve never had mealworms smell, but these had a horrible odor. Took a week to get here and contained tons 1/4 of order with dead, black worms.

Fantastic Shipment! Super healthy!

3 years ago
I am totally amazed! I ordered 10,000 mealworms and they came next day air. Packed 5000 to the box and two boxes taped together. Nice packaging too. I opened each box over a large tub and let worms and packing fall in tub. Unfolded and straightened paper packing inside the tub and worms fell right off into the large tub Then poured them into the bin I had set up for them with wheat meal and carrots. Kept egg crate pieces for their bin playground. I could not believe that out of 10,000 mealworms, I only picked out 16 dead. That is fantastic and I will certainly make Mack's my go to for mealworms!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Okay product

3 years ago
Most mealworms survived transport. 1000 worms came in an extremely small box overstuffed with brown paper. Unpacking the box was incredibly difficult all many worms were inside and all over the packing paper. Would have been nice to see them in a larger box or contained all together a little better. Seemed a though they poured 1000 mealworms freely in a box of brown packing paper..

MY TURTLES LOVE THEM!!

3 years ago
This is the 2nd time I've ordered live mealworms from TS & amazingly, once again they all arrived alive & very active. The first time I ordered the large, thought I'd order the medium this time. They were smaller than I thought they'd be but they'll grow & fatten up before both of my turtles can eat them all. I will definitely purchase again. Highly Recommend, Thank You!!

No way near 1,000 mealworms

4 years ago
No way did I receive 1,000 mealworms. I bought them for my chickens - I have a total of 13 chickens. More like pets, really. Spoiled - and love their mealworms. Raised them all from a "neighborhood" chicken that decided to lay a clutch in our barn. The box they came in was a great box for shipping, but was bout 6-7" square. Mesh on two sides. Packed with paper and sawdust to help keep them from being jostled around. Packing was excellent. I cut open one side of the box and started shaking them out. The chickens LOVED them! OMG, it was fun to watch. But in less than 30 seconds, all mealworms were shook out and eaten. So, I'm to believe that, on average, each chicken at 77 mealworms each in less than half-a-minute? They're quick, but not that quick. I don't have time to count them, which I could have done - but it was an afterthought as I assumed there would be 1,000 mealworms in the box. But I seriously doubt there was anywhere close to 1,000. They were in great health, very few died (which is to be expected). Same with the 1,000 ct crickets I ordered.

No, I do not recommend this product.

5000 dead live mealworms

4 years ago
This is the 2nd live mealworm order placed over 2 months. The first order arrived in excellent condition…the worms were lively. You could even hear them moving about in the boxes. Unfortunately the second order arrived with 99.9% mortality. The box was silent. Found 3 sluggish worms, barely moving upon emptying into the grow container. Out of 5000…that’s not good at all. I don’t think they should ship live insects during summer months. I certainly won’t be ordering again during the summer.

Mealworm Mess

5 years ago
I rarely provide negative feedback, as I have had previously ordered from here and had good results; however, my mealworms took 4+ days to arrive and many were dead (probably 1/4 ) and many pupae. They smelled extremely bad. Previous orders arrived promptly and alive. Not sure if I will order from them again.

Quick receipt of worms and packaging concern.

I appreciated receiving the mealworms so quickly from Mack's Natural Reptile. I think packaging could be improved without major cost. If there was an inside liner in the box there wouldn't have been so many worms crawling out all the seams of the box.

Mack's Natural Mealworms, 10000 Count

5 years ago
Mealworms were shipped promptly and looked good when they arrived. Some dead (black) but that's to be expected. I did notice mealworms coming out from inside the corrugated box, they had crawled into the cardboard channels. It took me a while to get them out, I had to peel the cardboard layers apart. Now I know to check inside of the cardboard channels. I have had two Bluebird nests this year (my first year) and they have gone through what I had raised and I thought it would be plenty for them. I got tired of ordering again when supply got low so I ordered the largest amount I could. Looks like I may have to order again. Very good mealworms and very healthy Bluebirds. Thanks Mack's and Tractor Supply!

Yes, I recommend this product.
