Customer Reviews
Small Vita-Bug Superworms are the result of years of research and development targeted at improving the nutritional profile of a feeder insect product line by providing a quality food source during the entire growing process that delivers those nutrients directly to insect-eaters. Vita-Bugs® consume a patented food throughout their lifetime specifically formulated for insect consumption, fortified with nutrients like Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Thiamin, Beta-Carotene Omega-6 and Omega-3 Fatty Acids just to name a few. Not only does the feed itself contain these vitamins, it’s also scientifically proven that they are actually consumed and retained within the tissue of the insect.
We feed our Small Vita-Bug Superworms a proprietary, patented diet throughout their lifetime specifically formulated for insect consumption, fortified with nutrients like Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Thiamin, Beta-Carotene, Omega-6 and Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

Keeping Small Vita-Bug Superworms with different feeder insects can be tricky and is generally not recommended. You should use separate containers tailored to each insect species.
Small Vita-Bug Superworms are packed in mealworm bedding that serves as their food source. Vita-Bug Superworms should be kept at room temperature and never refrigerated. Provide moisture periodically by adding small pieces of fresh vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, or apples, which also serve as food. Regularly remove uneaten food, waste, and dead worms to maintain a clean and healthy environment. Without an additional source of moisture, Small Vita-Bug Superworms become quite cannibalistic. Vita-Bug Superworms cups that go untended for several weeks are likely to have significantly fewer live worms because of cannibalism.
