Zophobas are the larvae of the darkling beetle ( Zophobas morio ) and are among the larger, particularly energy-rich feeder insects. They are readily accepted by many reptiles, amphibians, large insectivores, and fish. Due to their high fat and protein content, they are ideal as a supplementary food, for improving condition, or as an occasional treat.
Our Zophobas come from controlled breeding facilities run by Bugs International and are therefore Made in Germany. As a leading breeder in Europe, Bugs International stands for consistent quality, healthy animals, and hygienic production conditions. The feeder insects are delivered fresh every Monday morning.
In terrariums, superworms are particularly valued for animals that are reluctant to eat or weakened, as their movement triggers a strong feeding response. Due to their size, they should only be fed to smaller animals in crushed pieces or selectively.
