Where can I buy mealworms and grasshoppers? ive read that you can feed mealworms rats and locusts. no matter what pet stores sell these if they are alive or dead
A pet store would be a good thing. You can find "dead" mealworms in the section on birds.
It's a bit of a debate on what is best. It is believed that some mealworms, etc. that have already lost their lives can carry the bacterium E. Coli.
If you use live insects, you must remove them after mealtime. If she stays in the cage, they can bury and reproduce.
try a pet store
You can get them at Petco. I have a gecko and I feed him crickets. This is where I get them and I know they have worms as food.
Pet stores usually include mealworms, crickets, and crickets.
Yes, pet stores do sell them. I think most of selling online, which is how they should be fed to your rat.
Must be able to get in a pet store.
eeeeewwwww
You can get in a pet store normally, sometimes you can buy meal worms in a tackle shop.

you can get a pet animal shop.most live sale.
Mealworms can be found in pet stores are better fed and live. I do not recommend feeding these because they are rich in protein which rats should not have too. Like once every two months treatment (only eat a few), they are ends and rats love them. Note however that if the meal worms are not killed by the rat before swallowing, mealworms can eat their way out of their stomachs. Grasshoppers are not yet available in most pet stores and should not be taken outdoors and fed you're not sure what the locusts have eaten or come into contact with.
I stay away from feeding mealworms simply because there are other foods, they are healthier than the love for them. Baby food, yogurt and bananas are my own favorite treats I feed the rats from time to time. A great variety in diet is the best and when you can offer a tasty variety that is healthy, you do your kiddos a favor.
If you have further questions, please feel free to send me an email.
Good luck!
