Mealworm gut-loading?

Inframidi Dec 22, 2004 10:51 PM

Can I use cricket gut-load to feed my mealworms? Also, how exactly do I gutload them? They're in a small round case in the refridgerator but it has no room for food.

Take a look at leoloverslizardlounge.com/mealworms.htm

Also, for a mealworm gut-load recipe, I used www.drgecko.com/insectdiet.htm

The breeder I just bought my Patternless from suggested T-Rex Cricket Diet ILF. I haven't checked it out yet but he said he leaves it right in the dish with the mealworms inside his tanks.

they wont eat much if anything when they're cold in the fridge. so what ever you choose to gut-load them with, take em out of the fridge and let em warm up for a day or couple days so they'll eat good.

Thanks for the replies guys. I searched google for some other forums and I read up on them a bit. And yeah, if they're 'chillin' in the 'fridge' they look practically dead. :P
