Frequently Asked Questions

What types of feeder insects does Rainbow Mealworms carry?
They specialize in mealworms but typically carry a range of feeder insects including superworms and waxworms depending on the season. Calling ahead confirms current stock and helps you plan your visit.
Can I buy mealworms in bulk for my reptile shop in the LA area?
Yes, wholesale and bulk purchasing is a core part of what they do, making them a reliable supplier for retail shops throughout Los Angeles County. Pricing typically improves significantly at higher quantities.
How should I store mealworms after purchasing them?
Mealworms stay fresh longest when kept in a cool environment, typically in a refrigerator at around 50 degrees Fahrenheit, which slows their development. Keeping them in a ventilated container with a small amount of oat bran or wheat bran extends their shelf life.
Are Rainbow Mealworms' insects gut-loaded before sale?
Feeder insects from specialty producers are often offered in various feeding states, and it's worth asking at purchase whether gut-loading has been done. Many reptile keepers prefer to gut-load themselves in the 24 to 48 hours before feeding.
Do they ship mealworms to customers outside of the Compton area?
Shipping live insects is possible but adds stress to the animals and cost to the order, so local pickup is usually preferred by Los Angeles area customers. Check directly with them about current shipping policies and service areas.
What size mealworms are best for small reptiles like leopard geckos?
Smaller mealworms are generally recommended for juvenile reptiles and smaller species like leopard geckos, as feeders should not be wider than the space between the animal's eyes. Rainbow Mealworms typically carries multiple size grades to match different animals' needs.
