6qt Wheat Bran for Mealworms
When putting together a Mealworm/Super worm enclosure you don't need many items we recommend:
- Wheat Bran
- Container
- Shelter: we like using egg cartons or toilet paper tubes
- Moisture source: we like using insect water, carrots, or sweet potatoes
When putting everything together, take your container and add in 2-4 inches of wheat bran smoothed out. Then, place your shelter along the top and the Moisture source. Once everything is set up, toss your mealworms, and you're ready! Replace your moisture source once it's gone or dried out!
