"Mini Meal Worms" Tenebrio Obscurus

[KevinA]

Does anyone have any info on these? Specifically nutritional, like calcium, phos. ect...

All I found was
Protein 48.31% Crude Fat 40.46% Dry Matter 43.05% Moisture 56.95% Ash 2.92%

These look like baby chams might like them.

Just looked them up now and apparently they're popular as reptile feeders??? I've never heard of them

I'm pretty sure the biggest (only?) complaint with mealworms is their high chitin levels. These Mini mealworms being the same genus as their bigger cousins probably means they have a lot in common. That's about as much help as I can be lol.

Used a large bowl and they spread out over the bottom. Birds have keen eyes.
