Phoenix Worms - Extra Small (1/8" - 150 Count)

Product Code: PW-XS Price: Check Latest Phoenix worms (larvae of the Hermetia illucens, commonly known as Soldier Fly) are another great food source for poison dart frogs as well as other small herps. It is a soft body grub that has a relatively high calcium content. An independent lab study shows that the Phoenix Worm has over 60 times the calcium content of mealworms. This worm can withstand high temperatures and should not be refrigerated. The Phoenix Worm is able to ship when it is too hot to send fruit flies. We currently offer them in size small (1/8" or 5mm) in a 150 count container. They can last for weeks at room temperature with little or no special care and do not grow as quickly as wax worms (they hold their size very well). They can be fed weekly or bi-weekly, along with crickets or other feeder insects, to add a varied diet of food for your pet. They are also great for feeding venus fly traps and other carnivorous plants!
