When I was ordering mealworms (now I breed them) I would get them in cloth bags with crumpled newspaper inside for the mealies to climb on.

Got them like that, and I got them in crickets boxes, with eggs flats once or twice as well.

I usually get my mealworms in small plastic tubs filled with a sawdust material. I've also heard that you can safely package them in oats.

Although I only order in small portions compared to most other owners here :)

Cloth sacks with crumpled newspaper is how we would get them before breeding our own. You can try going to Wal-Mart and buying the fabric by the yard and sewing your own very cheap! Assuming you or someone you know has a sewing machine...:)

Mine also came in a cloth bag with news paper. The cloth is like a small squared mesh cloth. Holes are probably bigger than cheese cloth. I would assume that this is for ventilation. The bag came in a box probably 8"x8"x8' for 1000 mealworms.

I have mine in a shoe-box but I'm going to take them out pretty soon. :main_yes:
