    Product Description

    Butterworms

    Chilecomadia moorei 

      For live delivery guarantee: if your temps are below 50 or above 85° the "Hold for Pickup" button must be checked above!

     

    These Butterworms are a mixture of both small and jumbo size.

    We ship your Butterworms in wheat bran for padding and dryness along the journey to you. 

    They are fantastic feeder for the fussy eater because of their vivid color and alluring fruit scent.  They're high in fat and calcium, and store for long periods of time in the refrigerator.

    Fishermen have used Butterworms for generations in Europe and South America.  They are used in North America more recently for catching Steelhead and Panfish.

     

    Care and Storage

    It is normal for Butterworms to form a doughnut shaped nest during shipping.  Gently pull apart the nest to find your worms inside.

    It is imperative that Butterworms be kept dry. They will die when exposed to moisture.

    Keep them between 40 and 50° to slow their metabolism and keep them in a state of hibernation.

    Butterworms have been irradiated to prevent bacterial growth and prevent pupation if released in the wild.

    Do not feed Butterworms to your pets if you notice mold growing in the bedding.
