Product description
Keeping butterworms
Butterworms are irradiated when they are imported into the country which makes them sterile. They eat exclusively Trevo Bush which you can't get in Canada so it is best to keep them in the fridge to keep them dormant! If you only need to keep them for a few days then you can keep them at room temperature.
Are butterworms good for my pet?
Yes, butterworms contain a high amount of calcium and protein, as well as a range of nutrients. They are considered a treat however as they are higher in fat than some other insects.
