How do I store mealworms?

Storing mealworms is easy, the same as you would keep superworms, all you need to do is to use a plastic tub of some kind and fill with a few inches of a substrate such as uncooked oats or wheat bran. Keep the mealworms in the container and throw in some salad items now and then. Butternut squash, sweet potato, acorn squash, and also leafy greens such as collard greens, dandelion greens, mustard greens. You can give them fruit, but be aware it will attract fruit flies. Keep them clean by removing any dead bugs and old food as soon as you can. As long as you keep them together, they shouldn't pupate, but if they do, then that's okay, you can feed them to your pet or keep them separate and watch them turn into a beetle. This can be a fun experiment to do with your kids!

How do I feed mealworms to my pet?
