Bahhh. I recently purchased a container of about 50 mealworms. I have no idea how to care for them, other than I'm going to be refrigerating them during the nighttime and taking them out in the morning of the day I'm going to be feeding them. They are in some sort of flaky corn stuff. I assume the daytime would work to gutload them in... but with WHAT?! Fluker's cricket gutload says it can be used with most other feeders as well. I'd really hate to make a complex recipe, because I'm young and easily distractable and mommy dearest would have to buy all of the stuff.
Right now I've got a potato slice int he container, and they are latching on and eating it. Kind of gross.
Also, I've got herp vitamin powder, made by tetrafauna. Can I give that to them somehow?

Yea just go to the grocery store and buy some bran cereal for a couple dollars, pour that in a plastic container, put in mealworms. Every few days put in a piece of potatoe or something, easy.
I have had mine for about a mounth, I ordered a couple thousand adults, like half have pupated and I should have beetles in a week, they require almost nothing. Heck by my calculations If I didn't feed them off and kept them going in a year I could have about a trillion lol
