[post_content] => Superworms are a very popular feeder to keep in an at-home colony because of how easy to raise they are. But if you live in Florida, you need to take a few extra things into account. Florida’s heat and humidity can be deadly to larval insects. In order to promote breeding and keep diseases away, you need to maintain conditions between 70 and 80°F. Humidity should never exceed 50% in your superworms’ habitat. Check out our tips for keeping insects cool and dry.

[post_content] => After you decide to get a new pet, your first concern is their dietary needs. Bearded dragons and leopard geckos, need a staple feeder bug with high protein and fat, low fiber, and lots of calcium. Crickets and dubia roaches both have good protein content and lower fat, making them what we would call “lean protein” for reptiles. But they have a few key differences that may make you choose one over the other. Check out our full comparison for all the details.

[post_content] => Picking a staple feeder insect for your pet can be a big decision. Crickets are one of the most common feeder insects out there, and you can buy them in most pet shops. Superworms are a little less common, but they’re very easy to raise indoors. On top of that, they have some nutritional differences and other biological factors that might make you pick one over the other, depending on what your pet needs. Check out our full comparison for all the details.

[post_content] => Superworms and mealworms seem similar at a glance, and that’s no mistake. They’re cousins. But they're not the same - there are a few crucial differences that might make you choose one over the other. The main one you would notice externally is their size. Mealworms are significantly smaller than superworms. The other major difference is chitin content. Mealworms have a dense chitinous exoskeleton, where superworms are softer. For all the details check out our full comparison.

[post_content] => Superworms and dubia roaches are two of the most popular choices for feeder insects. They’re both very easy to keep and provide good nutrition. But there are a couple differences which may lead you to pick one or the other. The dubia roach, Blaptica dubia, is a small, flightless cockroach native to South America. The superworm, Zophobas atratus, is the larva of a darkling beetle native to the tropics of central and South America. Nutritionally, both species have a good protein content, low fiber, and lots of moisture. For all the details, check out our full comparison.

[post_content] => Mealworms have a lot of benefits as a feeder, but should be used with caution. They’re very easy to get and can be kept easily, which makes them a great backup feeder, or a good choice as one part of your pet’s diet. They have good nutrition and don’t stink like crickets do, which is a big bonus. They work well in combination with lean protein feeders like crickets and dubia roaches.
So the answer is yes; mealworms are a good feeder. But you should know a few things before you start including them in your pet’s diet. Check out our full article for all the details.

[post_content] => Crickets are pretty hearty little critters, but they’re not bombproof. They are prone to a lot of the same issues as reptiles, including viruses and parasites.The first thing you should be aware of is which problems affect which species. The main species of feeder crickets are Acheta domesticus (the brown house cricket) and Gryllodes sigillatus (the banded cricket). Most problems that crickets have are due to habitat conditions, viruses, or parasites. Check out our full article for more details on diagnosing problems with crickets.

[post_content] => If your bearded dragon is getting too big for tiny critters, you need a bigger feeder insect, like the hornworm caterpillar. Hornworms are less common as feeders, but they’re a hearty, nutritious choice, with a higher protein to fat ratio than dubia roaches. If you’re looking for a long-term feeder for your reptile, you'll need some plastic gutter guard screen, like you find at the hardware store, some deli cups, two storage bins, and a lepidtarium. For all the details, read our full article on Ovipost.
