Flukers High-Calcium Mealworm Diet is a premium veterinarian-formulated formula designed to gut-load mealworms before feeding them to insect-eating reptiles and amphibians. This diet helps increase the vitamin and mineral content of feeder insects while addressing the natural calcium deficiency commonly found in invertebrates like mealworms. Establishing a proper calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is essential for supporting healthy bone growth and overall reptile wellness. This helps reduce the risk of long-term skeletal issues.
Flukers High-Calcium Mealworm Diet also doubles as bedding, providing a convenient and multi-functional solution for maintaining feeder insects. Gut-loading mealworms with this nutrient-rich formula allows reptiles to benefit not only from the nutritional value of the insect itself, but also from the enhanced nutrients in the mealworms digestive system. Available in either a 6 oz, or 3 lb jar and ships Canada-wide.

Feeding Guide:
Feed as the primary source of food to mealworms. Add 1 to 2 inches of Flukers High-Calcium Mealworm Diet to your mealworm container. To ensure optimal nutrition and calcium intake, let your mealworm feed on the diet for 48 hours before offering to your pet. Replace diet once it breaks down and becomes dusty.
NOTE: We advise against keeping sliced potatoes or other sources of moisture in mealworm container during gut-loading as the potato is primarily a low-nutrition water source that could inhibit the mealworms appetite.If keeping mealworms longer than one week, you may store them in a refrigerator to prevent them from changing into beetles.
Wash hands after use. Store in a cool, dry place.
