The easiest thing to feed my mealworms has been carrots (just as they come from the market, unpealed with green tops removed). Carrots have good moisture, last a while, & do not mold/rot as easily as apple, etc. Of course I check on the carrots to make sure there is no mold present; when replacing carrots, be sure to check for hitchhikers like the mealworms & beatles. Just place a carrot on top of the wheat bran bedding &/or burlap piece over the wheat bran bedding, then layer over with a few pieces of brown paper bag or newspaper (the paper layers are a good way to collect fresh mature mealworms for feeding out & it provides a shaded cover as they do not like lighting). I got my first starts of mealworms from a pet store, only get the ones that are kept in the frige, they are the ones that will breed easily. Happy mealworm feeding!
