Hi
Anyone prefer any particular temp range for keeping the mealworm culture happy?

thanks

For rapid development of your larva 77-80*F above 85 can have negative effects. Below 75 your growth will be slower.

Having a good variety of different feeds in the bedding will also add to rapid growth. This also ensures that your meal worms will be gut loaded for feeding to your critters.
