Predator Foods Bulk Live Mealworms - 500 Count (Large - ~.75")

They were delivered promptly and were very lively. My gecko hadn't eaten for weeks but when I fed her these worms, she chomped them right up! I keep them in the fridge, and they last for months.

I bought the 500 count for our two adorable leopard geckos l. As soon as they came in I went through them. I did not counted them but I did check for some dead ones as I expected some due to handling and such, but I was very pleased to find out all of them were alive and appear very healthy. I expected them to come with bedding, but they did not, but that’s ok as their price is lower than other sellers. So I blended some oatmeal for their bedding as I take them out of the fridge and strained them to feed them every other week in a different container. Definitely Will buy again from this seller.

I have purchased mealworms from this same vendor for years and every couple of months. Most times they are alive (majority of them) and a few times 50/50. This recent order 95% are half black/hard/starting to change color and super tiny (not large which is what I ordered) and smelled very badly. As soon as the package was delivered, I always grab it and open it and put them in my container especially if it is hot weather. This time most of them were dead and they are very tiny tiny worms. I must have order 20+ times. I requested to get a replacement but can't get anyone to respond to me and I was back and forward with Amazon representative and still no replacement or communications from the seller. My turtle ran out of worms and now I have nothing for him to eat.10/8/23 - still have yet to hear back from seller despite Amazon rep set they will contact them and have them reply asap.

I got these for my adult bearded dragon. They arrived in a little burlap sort of bag, with twine tied around the top to close it, and plain white printer paper folded up inside to offer some structure inside the bag, as to not squish the worms.The worms were small, which I think people get confused about but these were indeed giant mealworms. I believe people expect them to be the size of superworms, so when these little worms arrive, it seems like something is wrong, but nope-- the ones I I were the correct size! They were all alive when I received them. Packaged well, in a small square box, with a "Fragile / Handle with care" type of note on it. I believe there were some holes punched into one side of the box.I had been expecting a little plastic cup, like in the photo, however to be fair, I didn't read the description so I'm unsure if they provide a disclaimer about the packaging. No big deal though, because I prefer to use less plastic if its not necesssry, and transferring them to a Tupperware container for storage was simple enough.Buying them here was much cheaper than at chain stores like PetCo, etc, where 25-50 giant mealworms will cost you $5-6 where I live. And half the time, they either don't have them or many of them are already dead. If it matters to you, I recommend that if you ever have to grab one of those types, save the containers or at least the substrate inside to use for when you receive worms online that come in a bag like these did.Other than that, my girl loved them!As always, dust them with calcium powder prior to feeding.I was very happy with this purchase :)

Made my hens very happy. Arrived alive and well, grew and reproduced great.

Update 3/20/22 after multiple orders:Still legit. Still 99% alive. They don’t even go bonkers for fruit and veggies right away which tells me they’re on the verge of death or they’re already pretty satiated. They’re moving like crazy though so I think it’s the latter. This is via Amazon too dude.. where they are in who knows what temps then sitting on my porch for a couple hours. These guys deserve an award. I’ll be sure to update if something catastrophic happens.The only con… inconsistent packaging. The latest we’re in a shoddy taped up plastic container and the substrate looked nothing like the last ones. Could be different grow houses? Maybe it’s the size difference? Idk. Due to the container a bunch got out into the box.P.S. lol @ the review where the chick was pissed they didn’t include instructions.I have ordered mealworms from five different vendors over the last several months and these guys consistently have healthier mealies than any other vendor.You might have a handful of dead worms in a batch of 500. It’s actually pretty flipping amazing. These guys also consistently proceed into regular mealworm life cycles more consistently and reliably than other vendors I have procured from. Predator is literally the only place I am getting worms until proven otherwise.Other vendors require constant pruning and plucking of blacked and shriveled worms. It’s bad. Out of 500 worms, other vendors sometimes ship upwards of 25% dead ones and then you could lose another 100 over the next week or two. Not these guys. Predator worms are next level.

This is the second time in a row I have received dead worms. Out of the container I was able to salvage 7 live worms.. the rest were dead. I have ordered them before and as expected, some were dead. Maybe 20 give or take. Which again, I expect. And is completely fine. But the last two times this is what I received. I thought the first time maybe they got left in the mailbox too long in the heat. But this time, I went and got them as soon as they were delivered. I hope my next batch will be like the ones before. Which is why I gave 3 stars.

I had an issue with the post office leaving the mealworms in the sun or something happened with them a couple of times and they were dead. This vendor sent me at no charge a very large replacement, all perfect sizes and all in perfect shape. I am very thankful for the way they took care of this problem, that I am sure was not even there fault. They have a customer for life with me.... my bearded dragons are also very happy.
