all of my mealies are gutloaded 24hrs. each night after feeding, i put 10 ungutloaded mealies into a container with sliced carrot. then next night, i feed. does anyone see any problems?

thanks!

what kinda bedding are you using for the mealworms? If it's the same sawdust/red oatbran stuff that they come in from the store it might not be ideal.

You can buy some gutload from the petstore or online or make your own. I use T-rex cricket gutload (I know, expensive stuff, but it's worth it IMO, spirulina, bee pollen, etc, all those health food stuffs are expensive) and make a 50/50 mix of that stuff in oatmeal/oatbran/grain mix put a 1/4" layer of it in an empty mealworm tub (the 100 count tub), and put in whatever I'm going to feed for the next couple days in there (about 20 mealworms, or 6 supers) along with a piece of potatoe or carrot.
