Net Weight: 1 pound / 16 ounces


Feeding Instructions: Store live mealworms in a container that allows for proper ventilation. Distribute Mealworm Keeper evenly in the container, using about 1 cup for every 250 live mealworms to act as their main food and bedding source. In addition to Mealworm Keeper, offer raw potatoes or raw carrots to provide moisture in their diet. Exotic Nutrition’s Thirsty Cricket is another option for a drown-free water source.

Keeping live mealworms in a refrigerator at 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit can induce dormancy for up to 10 weeks. Once a week, take mealworms out of the refrigerator to revive them for feeding. Let them eat for 24 hours at room temperature, then remove any uneaten raw food and refresh the bedding before returning them to the refrigerator for extended storage.

Feeder insects might lose some nutritional value after being dormant for several weeks. It’s advisable to gut load insects 1-2 days before feeding them to ensure they offer maximum nutrition. Gut loading involves providing insects with a nutrient-rich diet before they are fed to other animals. To gut load, mix a high-protein food source like Exotic Nutrition's Mealworm Chow with your Mealworm Keeper ahead of feeding. Additionally, consider sprinkling a multivitamin or calcium supplement on the insects before feeding to prevent calcium deficiencies.

Glow In The Dark Ball
Size: 18in
I gave this 4/5 stars because the ball is a little small for my dog size so I was hoping the sizing was easier to read. It could have been an error on my end. The ball is great though! It lights up nicely when it is out in the sunlight or under a light for a long periods of time, it lights up at night so you can play with your dog at night when it is cooler!

Well designed, well built.
Size: 25in
The stick facilitates powerful, long distance throws. The ball makes a light whistling noise (to help your dog track the ball) through the air, flys far, and has held up well. I live in an area with mountain lions, and they often hunt at night, so I haven’t taken advantage of the glow-in-the-dark feature.

My dog loves chasing these balls. He seems to love the squeak! They fit the chuck it stick perfectly, and are great replacements for the originals that came with the stick.
