Exo Terra canned mealworms are a convenient way to feed mealworms to reptiles. The worms have been cooked in the can to maintain nutritional value, flavor and aroma. This also softens the mealworms for easier digestion and breaks the bonds between the collagen protein to make it absorbable by reptiles. Collagen is an important fiber that aids in building bone, cartilage, skin and claw structures. Canned mealworms have the same nutritional value as live mealworms but are easier to digest.
