I think

That I read a post about Mealies where Orange Peels are good for them.

If it isn't they will not eat it.

anyone else?

I've heard orange peels work great..but make sure there isn't any of the meat on the peels. I haven't tried it with mine yet.

From a Post by GeckoGathering

Breaking down any grain or meal worm
food source (bedding) does make sifting possible.....
When doing so be aware that moisture/mold/mildew is now
even more important to control against.
Grain mites get started in wet broken grains easiest...
and can be a possible problem later for a gecko.
The best moisture item is orange peels.
Just the peel, on top of your grain with the skin side down,
until it dries good.
It still supplies what meal worms want for a long
time after it looks very dry.......very little chance of
moisture problems when using it.
Worms and beetles will gather under the peel for both
harvesting worms and the beetles laying eggs.
take care. HJ
