Bedding for Mealworms??

[GregHaugen]

What are you using for bedding/substrate for mealworms? I've heard of everything from wheat bran to chicken/hog mash??

I use chicken food, DuMor Layer pellets. I like the pellets because you can sift out the poop and keep the remaining food. Also less is more, I recommend only using a thin layer of whatever you decide on because you can always add more food.

I use wheat bran and oats because I can buy it local.However I find it more expensive so eventually Im going to switch to the chicken layer pellets(its higher in calcium then bran too).

Mostly wheat bran or some other cereal like oat. Powdered, dried veggies sometimes if i have time to make them or some crushed dog food

Usually oats, sometimes with cricket gutload mixed in. And carrots for moisture.
