    I was moving some stuff in my barn a couple weeks ago and found a bunch of meal worms in a old bag of feed......put them in a pitcher and have in house in some of the feed. Now what do i do to raise them?

    I raise them in either chicken mash or wheat flour, the cycle it mealworm to larve to bug to mealworm. give some kind of mositure , potatoes slices just a couple . when you get black bugs seperate the black bug in another container and start over again before long millions of worms

    You don't have to separate them, they will live happily together just fine, I have millions.

    Anyone use them from Petco? I think bait shops charge to much.

    Mealworms - Live Mealworms Available Online from petco.com

    Thought about this also.
