@djrazzer9 First of all, it is spelled "wrong." Secondly, they are superworms. Do some research before you spew crap from your mouth you blubbering fool.

Very good observation, they are all overweight, not a good thing for Meerkats. I recently visited Fellow Earthlings Wildlife Center in Morongo Valley, CA. Check out website. Those Meerkats looked just like if they were in the Kalahari. I noticed the Wild Animal Park in San Diego had the same problem you see here, they were overweight.

My two year old wanted to know what Meerkats eat so this was great!! Thank you!

Those are not mealworms. They are superworms. Mealworms are smaller and have little to no nutrition, while superworms are full of fat and protein. None the less, nice video -- cute Meerkats.

before anyone takes offense I love meerkats. Now let me ask one question. Why r the meerkats so plump? Good eating and not alot of room to roam or a combination of both. Their Khlahari kin are alot thinner.
