Bran is commonly used but not recommended because it depletes calcium and is not high in protein. Game bird starter is a commonly recommended choice.

In general, mealworms are a safe food to feed to most reptiles and amphibians. Problems usually only occur when they make up a large portion of the diet. Mealworms have a hard exoskeleton that is difficult for some reptiles and amphibians to digest so it's best to avoid feeding them in large quantities or frequently. They are also high in fat and when fed often can lead to obesity.

Your Mealworms will eat the oat or wheat bran or uncooked oatmeal bedding. We sell the bedding material used by us to grow our Superworms and Mealworms. See the Mealworms page for information. Additionally, they need a source of moisture and eat raw potato, carrot, apple, celery, melon rinds. We also feed a little high-protein chicken mash (not more than 20% of the bedding volume) to fatten them and increase their protein content.

Meal worms are not difficult to raise. Take a plastic container about 15x17x6-inches deep with a lid, and lay in a mix of wheat bran and non-medicated chicken feed for the bedding. Add a few sliced carrots, celery, lettuce or zucchini for food and then drop in some meal worms. They will cycle through to the bug form and will lay eggs in the bedding. The eggs hatch into tiny worms that grow to adults and then the cycle repeats itself.

The size varies weekly due to many factors. All of our mealworms are shipped fresh, never left over from one week to the next or packed days in advance. Some factors include weather, season, and amount ordered. The mealworms are always graded by size and should be of consistent size for the batch, not necessarily the same size weekly.

Put about 2500 or less per container and cover with 2-3" of wheat bran or 50-50 oat meal/corn meal. Place in refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. Take out of refrigerator and let them warm to room temperature. Feed one carrot for 24 hours. You can use lettuce, apples or any other vegetable, but we feed carrots at Grubco. Remove the carrot, and place back in refrigerator. Repeat this process every two to three weeks.

Yes and no. Many people use mealworms as feeders with no ill effects at all, especially with lizards. However, mealworms have hard chitinous shells and may cause digestive problems in large quantities. Moreover, mealworms have mandibles; at least one poster reports having seen mealworms literally eat their way out of a garter snake (yuck), and one maintainer lost some leopard frogs to internal injuries caused by "king" mealworms.

A Spirit Medium is a person who communicates to spirits telepathically in the super subconscious mind by hearing, feeling and seeing visual impressions, symbols, and scenes from the spirit world aka: Heaven. A medium is able to receive and connect with higher frequencies or energies that our loved ones in spirit vibrate on. Maureen says the messages come in her own voice but are the thoughts and impressions of your loved one in spirit.

Serve them in a deep ceramic bowl so that the mealworms cannot crawl out. Mini is the preferred mealworm size among finches. Two recommended sources are Grubco and Rainbow Mealworms. It is the general opinion of the members of the forum that it is not necessary to cut the heads off the mealworms or to scald them in boiling water before serving.

No, but they are often confused with giant mealworms. Giant mealworms are treated with hormones to inhibit the larvae from pupating, therefore causing the giants to continue to feed and grow. Superworms, on the other hand, are the larvae of a beetle much larger than the common mealworm beetle. Superworms grow naturally to their one and a half to two inch size, over a period of many months.

Growing Mealworms in small quantities is both easy and fun. Just follow the easy instructions on our Mealworm page.

Always start with a light or medium formula when you try a new brand. Light/medium/dark varies considerably from product to product. In general, the department store brand dark is heavier than the drugstore brand dark. And don't forget that two applications of a light or medium formula may give you better results than one application of dark.

The following table shows the approximate raw data size used to load the database for different benchmark injection rates: Actual storage space consumed by the RDBMS and all the supporting structures (i.e. indices) is far higher, however. It is not unreasonable, for example, to have the database consuming 5GB of disk space to support runs at IR=100. There are a large number of factors -- both RDBMS- and configuration-dependent -- that influence the actual disk space required.
