Yes, in the US, we call them super worms, or giant mealworms.
They are very high in fat, and can cause constipation if you feed too many.
So reserve them as occasional treats.

My understanding was that superworms and giant mealworms were different? I've seen places selling both I thought.

yes, these can be part of a varied diet.
What the USA call superworms and Canada call Kingworms are Zophobas morio which look like big mealworms Tenebrio molitor
mealworms can also form a small part of a varied diet.
giant mealworms are growth enhanced mealworms, and should be avoided IMHO

Like mealworms, can you keep supers in the fridge to prevent them from turning into beetles??

No- that will kill them.
Supers don't turn into beetles unless isolated from other supers, so you have many months of worms as long as they remain together in the same tub.

I keep them on oats, and others keep them in bran, at room temperature. They eat either, you just need a water source, I use water crystals.
