Adding water would probably make your bedding get moldy. Potatoes are a good source of water for you mealworms.



Oatmeal will keep your mealworms going but is not a very good gutload for feeding them to your reptiles.



My recipe;



1 box each of the 4 Gerber powdered baby foods.

An equal amount of oatmeal, whole wheat flour, bran and ground parakeet seed (this can be processed in a blender or food processor). I also add Ol' Roy dry dog kibble.



Your mealworms will thrive on this and it will provide much better nutrition for your herps.



Hope this helps,

There is a difference between ignorance and stupidity. The ignorant can be taught, stupidity is beyond our control.
