Storage of Mealworms
Mealworms can be kept for weeks in a refrigerator when they are properly handled and contained. Just follow the following steps.
♦ Dump your bulk bag of worms into a large dishpan. Shake all of the worms off the newspaper and into the pan.
♦ Transfer them to a shallow tupperware-type container and cover them with oatmeal or wheat bran. Be sure the tupperware lid is well vented by
several one-inch diameter holes. This prevents condensation within the container. Condensation is lethal to mealworms. Store the container with
mealworms in a refrigerator at about 45-50◦F
♦ Every week or two your mealworms will require some moisture-rich food such as apples, potatoes or crisp lettuce. First take the mealworms out of
the refrigerator and allow them to reach room temperature so they can move around and eat. Then, place slices of potato or apple on the oatmeal. The
mealworms will then come to the top of the oatmeal and feed to recover moisture lost in the dry atmosphere of the refrigerator. Mealworms handled as
above will live for many weeks
