Large Butterworms
We have made the difficult decision to discontinue the sale of butterworms at ReptileSupply.com. After much consideration, we concluded that they do not meet our standards as a feeder. Butterworms are high in fat content, similar to waxworms, and while they can be part of a balanced diet, their cost is simply too high. Since they are sourced internationally, we face challenges in ensuring consistent quality, and our priority is to provide only top-notch feeders. We believe the benefits they offer do not outweigh the expense or potential risks to you, our valued customer.
Butterworms, also known as Tebo worms, are the larvae of the Chilean moth (Chilecomadia Moorei).
Commonly used as pet food or fishing bait, these worms typically measure between 1" and 1 1/2" or more in length.
They require no feeding, create minimal mess, and have almost no odor. Store them easily in your refrigerator door at around 42-45 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature, they enter hibernation and can survive without food or water for up to three months.
With easy storage and solid nutritional value, butterworms are a convenient choice, and pets absolutely adore them!
