Tenebrio Molitor

Caring For Feeder Insects

Gut-loading

Mealworms are also an abundant food source for many animals. Birds, spiders, reptiles, even other insects prey on mealworms to find a high protein and fat source in the wild, and it is much the same in captivity! Mealworms are used as feeder insects for a lot of popular pets, such as bearded dragons, chickens, even fish.

Temperature

Place them in a refrigerator set at 45°F until ready for use. When you are ready to use them, remove the desired amount and leave at room temperature until they become active, roughly 24 hours before feeding to your animal.

Substrates

A one thousand count bulk of mealworms can be kept in a large plastic container, with air holes in the top. You should cover the mealworms with a thick layer of wheat middling, oatmeal, or Fluker’s mealworm bedding to provide bedding and a food source.

Feeding Your Pet

Feeder insects should be no larger than the space between your pet’s eyes.
