Superworm gutload

[Joseph_Riccilia]

Ok so I have placed an order for 500 superworms and recently purchased a 6qt. plastic shoebox while I am waiting for them. Today I went to the store and bought some dry milk, wheat flour, and oats. My question is whether or not the ratio that I mix these things together matters, or should I just basically keep it even? I've also gotten some carrots for them

Um, forget all that stuff. You don't need it. lol. Where'd u hear about dry milk and wheat flour?

All you need is some sort of substrate which would be the oats and that will work just fine. If you are gutloading superworms, all you need is some veggies. Iceburg lettuce, Romaine, Carrots, Potatoes is all you need. All "gutloading" means is just packing your feeders full of nutrition and vitamins before feeding them to your geckos (or whatever you are feeding them to), and that is what the veggies will do. Just think of it as a way to feed your geckos it's daily serving of veggies, but since geckos won't eat just a plain vegetable, a sneaky way to get the veggies in your gecko's tummy, lmao. So all you do is just cut up some carrots or slice up some potatoes, or throw a few leaves of lettuce in, and thats that. They will eat it, and there, your superworms are "gutloaded". Just remember, not ALL veggies are good to feed your feeders... Don't feed them anything like onions or garlic or peppers (even bell peppers) or any "high spicy/acidic" veggies as these are not good. But if you stick with carrots, lettuce and potatoes, you'll be fine.

Thank you, haha I got the idea for dry milk and wheat flour because I was skimming a lot of the older threads on here that had to do with gutloading. I know what gutloading is but I was just trying to figure out a nice little bedding mixture that I could stick with that might benefit Lily in the long run. I mixed up the oats and flour and dry milk last night using mostly oats and then a little wheat flour, and a very sparse amount of the powdered milk. And I had planned to throw in a carrot or two when my superworms got here Thank you for the response, I'm going to monitor my worms very closely in this bedding and if it starts to turn out too much casualties I will switch to the plain oats
