Yes, they are pretty healthy. One of the biggest problems with them though is that many animals simply just don't like them. I bought a big shipment of them a few years ago and not a single animal in my collection would touch them. So, I suggest that if someone is going to try them, start off with a small amount to see if your animals will even eat them.

Most worms contain a lot of fat. So if you're really looking to give your animal a varied diet, you should look to feeders other than worms. Feeding superworms instead of regular mealworms isn't really much of a variation.
