Mealworm Feeders FAQs
- What kind of feeder do you use for mealworms?
The answer to this question can vary depending on whether you’re feeding live mealwormsordried mealworms. Live mealworms crawl, so it’s best to use a feeder that can keep them contained, ideally with smooth sides and high walls.
Dried mealworms are a bit easier to deal with – in fact, dried mealworms are commonly included in bird seed mixes and can be dished out in typical bird seed feeders.
- How do you store live mealworms?
Despite the misleading name, mealworms aren’t actually worms, they’re darkling beetles in their larval stage. Storing them in this stage can be difficult, with even the slightest change in temperature accelerating their metamorphosis.
Store your mealworms in a cool, dry place. Use a wide container so they’re not stacked too high – this will allow heat to dissipate and prevent overheating/suffocation. We’d recommend using glass or plastic since mealworms can chew through cardboard and wood.
At room temperature, mealworms can last about 4 weeks without food. If you want your live mealworms to last longer, you can store them in the warmest part of your fridge. The cold temperatures cause the mealworms to go dormant; mealworms stored in this way can last up to 10 weeks.
