Our beardy loves meal worms. We have a dish with a little depth for his veggies, so we hide the meal worms in the greenery/carrots and he sits and watches for the veggies to move, and grabs the worms and usually a mouthful of bok choy along with them, so he eats a well-balanced diet this way. The only food he probably likes more is his crickets, which are supposed to be a favorite for beardies, but ours doesn't care which one he's fed honestly. He usually gets a couple of crickets, then about a dozen meal worms, and he's a getting very big and very fat off this diet. I don't know that he's actually fat, but we got him after someone moved and left him behind, and he was pencil thin and about starved, living in a wet pine bark enclosure, etc., and he's just so healthy now and in 2 months, is shedding for the third time on mainly a meal worm diet, as crickets are rather hard to find this time of year locally. He probably gets crickets at least 3 days a week (refuses to eat anything freeze dried) and gets meal worms daily. Now his body has quickly caught up with the length of his body, he's active (we thought he was dead when we found him) and his color is gorgeous!

Thank you for your question. Mealworms are relatively easy to keep. Upon arrival place them in a refrigerator, set at 45°F, until ready for use. When you are ready to use them, remove the desired amount and leave at room temperature until they become active, roughly 24 hours before feeding to your animal. If you plan to keep the mealworms for longer than two weeks, remove them from the refrigerator, and let them become active. Once they become active, place a slice of potato on the top of the bedding to provide moisture, and let them sit for 24 hours. Then, place them back in the refrigerator. sjs

They come in only one size as far as i know, around 1" on average. They are very plump and lively, my eastern bluebirds love them.
