Mealworm is the name of one of the species of darkling beetle, which larvae are very convenient and popular as pet food for hedgehogs and lizards to owls and frogs.
The main disadvantage of mealworms is that they are very fatty and you should not give them too much to your pets.
Pros (many pros): they can be stored perfectly, live for a long time, do not run along the walls of containers and terrariums, and everyone loves it.
Well, I have even managed to breed them a little without much effort. It's not enough for my pet zoo, of course, but for a pair of lizards such as leopard geckos it's quite fine.
And little owls are being toe-curling bitches, like little owls, as usual.
