Meal worms are high in protein and fat so are good for a host of reptiles and amphibians that need building up. While they should not be the main food source  due to their hard exoskeleton which can be difficult to digest, they are an excellent complimentary food to small super worms, Dubia roaches and red runner roaches. Meal worms will grow to a size of about 2.3 cm.

Keep your mealworms in container with wheat bran. (The one they come in is usually OK) Add a few slices of potato, apple, carrot or other similar fruit or vegetable for water. Make sure you remove the vegetable and replace with fresh produce every day.

 

Keep the temperature where you are leaving the meal worms around 45 degrees F. The meal worms will keep for a few weeks in this temperature. (can keep in refrigerator, just take out every 3-4 days to warm them up and eat. Leave out 24 hours then replace in refrigerator.) If you keep them warmer, they may pupate out and become beetles, which if raising them can be good, but if for feeding want to keep ‘worms’ as long as possible.
