About our Florida Farm Raised Minimealworms™

Our Minimealworms™ are known as Tenebrio obscurus or dark mealworm.
*Beware* of deceptive breeders and cheap imitations!
Mini sized common standard mealworms are not our Minimealworms.

Common standard mealworms are Tenebrio molitor.
Something completely different!
Your Critter Won't Be Fooled and Neither Should You!!

Our Minimealworms™ are apprx. 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch (10mm - 15mm) in size.
They are very nutritious- containing:

  • 48.31% protein
  • 40.46% crude fat
  • 43.05% dry matter
  • 56.95% moisture
  • 2.92% ash

The benefits of our Minimealworms™ are many!

  • They are EXTREMELY ACTIVE, so much more so than common mealworms,
    the difference is staggering!
    Our Minimealworms actually encourage babies and juveniles to eat!

  • Easy to keep and care for!

Why We Are Different:

The following text in quotations is from one of a handful of websites that are trying to pass off Tenebrio molitor (their common standard mealworm) as Tenebrio obscurus (our Minimealworms):
..."Mini mealworms are just young mealworms harvested at a smaller size than the large common mealworms"...
INCORRECT!!  Nothing could be further from the facts:
*Our Minimealworms are a different species entirely.
*Our Minimealworms will not grow larger, but the common mealworms will.
*Our Minimealworms are HIGHLY ACTIVE, unlike the common mealworms.
*Our Minimealworms are raised in completely different conditions than the common mealworms.
Even the care & storage of our Minimealworms differs from the common standard mealworm care requirements.
Tenebrio obscurus (our Minimealworms) vs. Tenebrio molitor (small size imitations)~
There really IS a difference... Make sure you get what you pay for.
