Mealworms:

      Mealworms make a good alternative food source and are good for variety in diets of many reptiles and fish.  They are extremely easy to care for, have a long shelf life and don’t make a mess.  They are also slow moving and very cheap, making them an excellent food source.

        If you plan on just using your mealworms for food, and have no intention of breeding them then do the following:

        Put the mealworms in a plastic Tupperware container or plastic shoe box and provide plenty of ventilation by poking air holes in the cover.  Put about an inch of mealworm bedding in, and mix the worms into that.  Place this in the refrigerator (ideal temp is 45-50.  They will last in a hibernation state like this for up to 2 weeks.  Fresh potato slices or carrots should be given to them when you take them out.

If you plan on letting them breed, do the following:

        Put the worms and an inch of bedding into the plastic container as stated above.  Place fresh potato slices or carrots slices on top.  The mealworms turn into black beetles (don’t worry, they can’t climb the smooth surfaces of the plastic Tupperware to get out), which then lay more baby mealworms.  Make sure they always have fresh food and bedding.
