Description
Add a gourmet, nutrient-dense treat to your reptile’s menu with our premium Butterworms. Harvested from the wild in Chile under strict environmental controls, these vibrant orange caterpillars are a highly sought-after delicacy in the reptile hobby, offering a unique blend of nutrition and enrichment.
The Ultimate Enticer for Picky Eaters
If you have a pet recovering from illness, a breeding female needing a boost, or a stubborn reptile refusing its usual insects, butterworms are the perfect solution. Their bright coloration and unique, fruity scent immediately draw attention. Because they are soft-bodied and slow-moving, they are easy to capture and digest, providing a highly rewarding, low-stress hunting experience.
Why Choose Butterworms?
-
- Natural Calcium Source: Unlike many other high-fat treat insects, butterworms boast a remarkably high natural calcium content, making them a more balanced indulgence for growing or breeding reptiles.
- Zero Upkeep: Butterworms enter a natural state of dormancy when stored properly. They require absolutely no food or water while in storage, making them incredibly low-maintenance for keepers.
- Clean and Safe: These larvae cannot bite, sting, or harm your pets, and they are completely incapable of climbing smooth surfaces.
💡 Storage & Care Instructions
-
- Keep the butterworms in their original container wrapped in the provided organic packing media (such as wheat bran or sawdust).
- Store them in the door or crisper drawer of your refrigerator at a steady temperature between 4°C and 7°C.
- Keep Dry: Moisture is fatal to butterworms. Ensure the container remains completely dry and free of condensation to maximize their shelf life.
- Note: When kept cold, butterworms will remain dormant and fresh for several months. Only remove the exact amount you plan to feed out, allowing the rest to stay refrigerated.

My gecko loved them!
Our gecko loves these, when she gets sick of the same old mealworms and gets fussy, this gets her eating well again.
These are good for putting weight on a frog (or reptile) when needed. This girl just laid eggs so now she needs to bulk up 😊
All my bugs were alive and healthy, extremely satisfied
