Wheat Bran - Worm Chow 1kg

Wheat Bran - Worm Chow 1kg

Wheat Bran - Worm Chow 1kg is a wheat bran feed that works as both a nutritious food source and a bedding material for mealworms and superworms. It suits serious insect breeders and casual hobbyists who keep live feed insects for their reptiles and other pets, and it covers feeding and housing in one product.

Key Benefits

• Nutritious: provides fibre, protein and vitamins that mealworms and superworms need to grow and thrive.
• Organic and natural: made from 100% organic wheat bran with no added chemicals or preservatives.
• Highly absorbent: retains moisture well, giving your insects a comfortable living environment and helping to keep mould and bad odours at bay.
• Dual-purpose: serves as food and bedding, so you don't need a separate substrate. This saves time and reduces waste.
• Ideal texture: soft enough for the insects to burrow in, yet firm enough to give stable ground. This encourages natural behaviour and reduces stress.
• Clean and low dust: the processing method produces a low-dust product, which keeps the environment cleaner for your insects and for you.
• Economical: the 1 kg pack is designed to last, making it a practical choice for feeding and housing your colony.
• Supports healthier insects: the nutrient content helps keep mealworms and superworms lively and robust.
