Live Buffalo Worms Reptile Food
Buffalo worms are the larvae of a small beetle (Alphitobius diaperinus) and are about 1cm long. They are very nutritious due to their high protein and low fat content. They are quite tasty and most animals love them. Buffalo worms are about half the size of a yellow mealworm.
Buffalo Worms are suitable for many species that like smaller reptile food and are often used to feed birds. They are similar in use as other “mealworm” types of insect larvae but these have a thinner exoskeleton and are softer and easier to eat. They don’t like being chilled very much and are kept more like Morio than normal mealworms. Faster moving and more active than mealworms, they will quickly bury themselves and hide way so ideally your reptile or amphibian needs to be fed in a dish. They are high in protein, low in fat, low in carbohydrates and are packed with essential minerals like copper, iron, magnesium, riboflavin and zinc.”
