Mealworms are a popular choice for pet owners who are looking for a healthy and sustainable protein source for their reptiles, amphibians, and other small animals. They are relatively easy to care for and can be stored and transported easily.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to care for mealworms:

1. Choose a container: The container should be large enough for the mealworms to move around freely. A plastic shoebox or a glass aquarium are both good options.
2. Add a substrate: The substrate should be absorbent and easy to clean. We recommend using our Worm Bran or Moster Worm Food
3. Add food and water: Mealworms will eat a variety of foods, including bran, oats, vegetables, and fruits. They will use fruits and veggies as their source of water.
4. Maintain the temperature and humidity: The ideal temperature for mealworms is 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit. The ideal humidity level is 50-70%.
5. Clean the container regularly: Mealworms can produce a lot of waste, so it is important to clean the container regularly.
6. Change the substrate weekly: The substrate will become soiled over time, so it is important to change it weekly.
7. Remove any dead or dying mealworms: Dead or dying mealworms can attract pests, so it is important to remove them from the container promptly.

Tips:

• If you are keeping a large number of mealworms, you may need to provide them with a heat lamp or or heat source to maintain the correct temperature.
• Mealworms can be a great source of protein for your pet, but it is important to feed them a balanced diet to ensure that they are getting the nutrients they need. Always be sure to offer a variety of feeder insects

Troubleshooting:

• If the mealworms are not eating or breeding, check the temperature and humidity levels in the container.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your mealworms are healthy and thriving.
