Wholesale Mealworms For Pets Bulk Supply Factory Price
Wholesale mealworms for pets have become one of the most sought-after feeder insects in the global pet nutrition market, consistently valued for their high protein density, ease of handling, and universal palatability across a wide range of pet species.

As demand for reliable, contaminant-free feeder insects continues to surge, sourcing directly from a professional mealworm breeding facility ensures consistent sizing, superior nutritional profiles, and uninterrupted bulk supply. Our factory-direct wholesale program is designed to serve pet shops, distributors, online retailers, and large-scale hobbyists who require competitive pricing without compromising on product quality or biosafety standards.
What Are Wholesale Mealworms for Pets?
Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) are the larval stage of the darkling beetle, belonging to the family Tenebrionidae within the order Coleoptera. These soft-bodied, cylindrical larvae display a golden-yellow to tan coloration and are widely recognized as one of the most nutritionally complete feeder insects available commercially. They are non-venomous, easy to store, and readily accepted by a broad spectrum of pet animals including bearded dragons, leopard geckos, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, wild birds, and tropical fish.
Mealworm Breeding and Rearing Process
Our wholesale mealworms are reared in a fully controlled indoor facility under strict biosecurity protocols. Larvae are cultivated on a diet of premium wheat bran, oats, and fresh vegetable matter to maximize nutritional output. Temperature is maintained at 25–28°C with relative humidity between 60–70% to optimize growth rates and minimize mortality. Every batch undergoes multi-stage screening to remove pupae, frass, and undersized individuals before packaging, ensuring only market-grade larvae reach our wholesale clients.
Mealworm Biological Specifications
Adult Tenebrio molitor larvae supplied for the pet trade typically measure 20–32 mm in body length, with a live weight of 0.10–0.18 g per individual. On a dry matter basis, mealworms deliver approximately 48–52% crude protein and 28–35% fat, making them an energy-dense supplemental feeder. Chitin content averages 5–6% of dry weight. The larval development cycle spans 8–10 weeks at 27°C, and shelf life for live product reaches 4–6 weeks under refrigeration at 10–12°C without supplemental feeding.
