Care and feeding instructions for Live Zophobas from MyInsect

Once you have received your live Zophobas from MyInsect, it is important that you treat and feed them properly to maximize their lifespan and ensure that they serve as nutrient-dense food for your animals. Here you will find comprehensive instructions on how to optimally care for your Zophobas (giant mealworms).

Immediate action upon arrival

• Relocation : Transfer the Zophobas to a larger container with good ventilation. A plastic container with a lid and air holes or a terrarium with a mesh lid work well.

Optimal storage

• Temperature : Zophobas like it neither too cold nor too warm. A temperature of around 15-18°C is ideal. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator as they may go into hibernation if temperatures are too low.
• Substrate : Add a layer of oatmeal, wheat bran or a special insect soil to the container as a substrate. This serves as food and substrate for the Zophobas.

feeding

• Fresh vegetables and fruits : Offer fresh vegetables and fruits such as carrots, apples, or potatoes on a regular basis. These not only provide nutrition, but also moisture.
• Water : Avoid standing water in the container. The moisture from the vegetables and fruits is enough to provide the Zophobas with water.
• Regular feed inspection : Remove rotting feed regularly to prevent mold growth and unpleasant odors.

Hygiene and care

• Cleaning : Clean the container regularly to avoid a buildup of feces and dead Zophobas. A clean environment prevents disease and mold.
• Ventilation : Make sure the container is well ventilated to ensure adequate air circulation.

General information

• Handling : Zophobas are sturdy, but care should still be taken when handling to avoid injury.
• Observation : Pay attention to the health and activity of your Zophobas. Healthy Zophobas are active and exhibit natural behavior.

Precautions

• Allergies : As with all insect products, those with allergies to shellfish or dust mites should exercise caution.
• Direct contact : Use gloves if you have sensitive skin or may have an allergic reaction.

Shipping Information:

• The animals are transported loosely packed in a cardboard box. Among the various shipping methods tested, this has proven to be the most gentle method, keeping the animals vital and causing few casualties.

• In cases of extremely hot (above 27 degrees) or cold (below 0 degrees) weather conditions, we reserve the right to temporarily stop shipping live animals to ensure their safety during transportation. This could lead to a possible extension of the delivery time.

• Live animals are shipped Monday to Wednesday before 10:00 a.m. to ensure they do not remain with the carrier over the weekend. There is no shipping on holidays or pre-holidays.

• When you receive the package, it is recommended that you immediately remove the mealworms from the bag and place them in shallow plastic containers - these should be high enough to prevent the animals from escaping. Make sure the layers of worms are no higher than about an inch and store them in a cool place; ideally at a temperature below room temperature of a maximum of 21 degrees Celsius - otherwise the larvae could pupate within one to one and a half weeks! For even better results, we recommend keeping it even colder or refrigerating. It is best to use wheat bran and/or untreated carrots as food for your mealworm larvae.
