Giant Lob Worms as Reptile Food

Our worms are part of the main livefood diet of many reptile and amphibian diets.

They are easy to catch and highly nutritious, but they are high in fat, making them a great treat for your reptile or amphibian once or twice a week. They are dispatched directly from the breeder and will be gut-loaded before packing to make sure that they are as nutritious as possible on arrival.

These worms are between 90-150mm in size, so they are perfect for larger reptiles and amphibians. In the store, we use the worms to feed our New Caledonia Giant Gecko and Pacman Frogs.

You'll love them because:

• We guarantee freshness or your money back.

• They are farm-bred in ethical conditions.

• They are pre-fed to ensure your reptile is getting a healthy and nutritious meal.

• Delivered straight to your door in good time.

Packaging

The worms arrive in a sealed ventilated plastic tub. Small air holes along the sides provide airflow while keeping the worms safely contained.

In warmer months, the outer cardboard box may have extra perforations for cooling. In colder months, we may include a plain white heat pack to help maintain a suitable temperature during transit.

Feeding Guide

If you want to ensure your worms retain the most nutrition before you feed them to your reptile, we recommend feeding them a healthy diet right up until they're used.

• Offer fresh leafy greens, carrots, squash, or sweet potatoes; these provide hydration and essential nutrients.

• You can also use specialist insect foods or gut-loading diets to boost their nutritional value for your reptile.

• Remove any uneaten food daily to keep the enclosure clean and prevent mould or decay.

Well-fed worms make for excellent food and are far more beneficial, helping support your reptile’s health and digestion. For more information on their diet, please consult our livefood care sheet. If you’re looking for other types of reptile food, we also stock frozen, animal-specific, vegetation, and supplement options.

Care Instructions

Looking after your live food properly helps ensure your lizard or other pet gets the best nutrition possible.

Livefood Freshness Guarantee

We know how important it is to have fresh, reliable live food delivered on time. That’s why we ship live food five days a week using fast, trusted couriers. Most orders are packed on the same day they're dispatched and sent straight from the breeder, so they arrive in the best condition possible.

However, delivery can take a day or two, and sometimes things don’t go perfectly in transit. For your peace of mind, we have implemented the Livefood Freshness Guarantee! If your livefood doesn’t arrive in the best condition, or there is an issue with the size or quality, get in touch with our team and we’ll resolve it for you.
