In addition, this product serves as a bedding for your mealworms. This veterinarian-formulated diet establishes a positive calcium-to-phosphorus ratio in live mealworms which enables reptiles to benefit—not only from the nutritional value of the mealworm itself—but from the insect's nutrient-rich, gut content as well.
