My First Leo-Gutloading

[fender120993]

Alright you guys, i just got my first leo today and i have a few questions.


i am wondering how to gut load mealworms. I have them sitting in a small tub with outmeal and cut apples. I heard you use oatmeal as kind of a substrate and food and fruits and veggies for water and vitamins. Am I doing this right? After I put in the foods should i put the mealies back in the fridge or leave them at room temp?


Thanks for your input!

If you want to breed them then leave them at room temp and they will pupate. If you want them to stay that size then take them out of the fridge twice a week for about an hour for them to drink and eat and then put them back in the fridge.

Uh oh. I just realized that i posted in the wrong section. Sorry guys :/

But is it hard for them to reproduce? Do I have to do anything different?
