Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Are superworms the same as mealworms?
Ans: Zoo Med describes Can O' Superworms as farm-raised giant mealworms, and the ingredient is listed as superworms (Zophobas morio). They differ from the medium mealworms in Can O' Worms, which list Tenebrio molitor, and are made for larger reptiles and turtles.
Q2: Can adult bearded dragons eat Can O' Superworms?
Ans: Yes. Adult bearded dragons are named among the large lizards this food is for, along with monitors and tegus. Spoon out an appropriate amount for your dragon's size, and discard any superworms that remain uneaten after 24 hours in the enclosure.
Q3: Can I feed superworms to a leopard gecko?
Ans: Some product listings include smaller lizards, but the directions specify large lizards such as adult bearded dragons, monitors, and tegus. Since these are giant mealworms, ask your veterinarian before offering them to a leopard gecko or any other smaller lizard.
Q4: Can box turtles eat superworms?
Ans: Yes. The directions include both Asian and American box turtles, as well as water turtles. Spoon out an appropriate amount for your turtle's size, serve it in a suitable bowl, and discard any uneaten superworms after 24 hours.
Q5: Do Can O' Superworms contain preservatives?
Ans: The product details state that this food contains no artificial colors or preservatives. The only listed ingredient is farm-raised superworms (Zophobas morio), packed in a 1.2-ounce can under item number ZM-146. Refrigerate after opening and use within about one week.
Q6: How much protein and fat are in Can O' Superworms?
Ans: The guaranteed analysis lists a minimum of 17.0% crude protein and 16.5% crude fat, with a maximum of 6.0% crude fiber and 65.0% moisture. The fat level is notably higher than in Can O' Worms, which lists 5.0% minimum crude fat.
Q7: Where is Can O' Superworms made?
