Meal Worm Bedding/Food

[Danny G]

Hi guys, I have 500 on the way from Rainboworms. I just realized they use newspaper when shipping meal worms. Will I have to get the bedding/food for them or can they be stored with the newspaper in the refrig?

If I need to get the bedding what kind of stores carry it, pet shops? grocery stores?

I used to buy mealworms and superworms from sporting shops (like the ones they sell as bait) and I decided to screw that and get my own for free! They're probably more organic too...
Meal worms don't need to stay moist like earthworms, so that might be okay! I know a slice of juicy fruit likea strawberry or maybe some potato's are recommended for crickets because it's water and food... maybe something like that

Quaker Oats is a good bedding, but if you are keeping them refrigerated what they send them in will be fine.

I keep my mealworms and superworms in a bedding of uncooked oats. I buy the regular, not the instant. I give carrots and/or greens for moisture.
