Man this shortage couldnt have come at a worse time I have 2 sick leos that only eat mealies and dont have any at all what so ever. I did place an order for 500 from one place for $25 with 1-3 day shipping couldnt afford $45 for overnight shipping for 500 mealworms its insane

man that sucks.....well in 2 weeks we should be able to fulfill orders....we're alot cheaper and basically overnight them to you (shippings free)

My pet store has some in stock surprisingly.

ya i have some in supply but i want to wait till i have alot just so this 5 million mealworms sold in 2 days things doesn't destroy my stock again

Hi everyone,
Is the nationwide mealworm shortage over yet?

As the pet stores start to get more in stock, when do you think it will be safe to buy them untainted?

I've been breeding my own mealworms (thanks to the information on this site!), but I'm curious how others perceive the mealworm industry is handling the situation.

Now that I have a great clean and safe mealie colony going, no one wants to eat mealies anymore :main_no:
My female snow used to love them, not anymore.
If my newest addition to the family, Indie, doesnt eat them, I guess the wild birds will get a treat!!

I JUST GOT A BUNCH FROM NYWORMS.COM I KNOW I CANT GET ANY AROUND WHERE I LIVE SO I DECIDED TO TRY TO BREED THEM

 

[Next Level Geckos]

well i breed my own so it doesnt affect me

 

[SteveB]

Good luck! They're not that difficult.

gt them from breeders breeding them for bird food, like ncmealworms.com.

Yes there is a shortage everywhere!

Yes, there is a major shortage. Why, I don't know. All petstores I have tried and online services (like Wormman's worm farm) are out until further notice.

Have no idea how you can RUN OUT of mealworms! Been feeding my baby leopards small crickets only.

I get shipments of 20-60k from many suppliers without an issue.
