Homemade gutload?

[Superior]

I have decided to make my mealworm gutload from home instead of buying it, because my mealworms have hatched and they are gonna eat that stuff like theres no tommorow. I am going to use rolled oats as the main ingredient (Unless you say otherwise) and I want to add some other stuff to make it...healthier. What do you suggest adding? Or should I not add anything at all?

I think a variety of grains and veggies would be good. One thing to be careful of: a few years ago I made my own gutload by getting lots of grains, nuts and seeds from the food coop and powdering them. The mealworms eventually died. I think I had too many oily seeds and nuts and they were getting clogged up.

So I will just stay away from nuts and seeds then, thanks for the warning.
