While the chances of developing an allergy are relatively low, for those that do, it is definitely quite serious. A warning is a good idea so I'll edit my mealworm page to add one.

I don't know but does anyone know how?Is there a post on how to freeze dry mealworms?
Gallo del Cielo is the one tank professional here, with a tank thats been going several years. I have 2 separate larger bins and a 3 bin, they do seem to hang to the sides more.I don't know but does anyone know how?
I've been seeing A LOT more beetle action- what do they like to eat? Are they the same with mealworms? I have 2,000 mealworms/beetles in a 10 gallon tank...is that to squished? I am not separating them. The mealworms are congregating in big groups on the sides of the the tank. Is this normal?
Not that i have seen, i read the whole thread from page 1 a few times now. You can freeze them, and as long as you feed out in like an hour or so they are ok. they will turn black if you leave them sit. I never seem to have that many extra my birds and fish would make sure of it.Is there a post on how to freeze dry mealworms?
Yes, be careful with pupae. i didn't find it necessary to separate my worms and pupae in all the times i've raised them though. does anyone know much about breeding a second generation of mealworms? i'm interested for my chooks' sakes!

On Gallo del Cielo's thread, he indicates that he has 10-20,000 (estimated) mealworms in the 10 gallon tank. So that is not too squished. The beetles eat the same thing as the mealworms. In my tank setup, I find that there tend to be clusters of mealworms in the corners. They also cluster in the middle though, but it is not as easy to see. With that many mealworms, if 100 of them were in the corner it still would only be a small percentage of the worms. So I would say this is normal. The beetles tend to spread out more but that might just be because they move a lot more (and faster).Gallo del Cielo is the one tank professional here, with a tank thats been going several years.
