Mealworm

Mealworm Features

The mealworm is a suitable food animal for all ant species. Depending on the size of the colony, it can be given on a weekly basis. It is also worth giving other foods that are carbohydrate-rich (such as honey, sugary water, fruit jelly) and water replenishment is a must. They are hardy animals and can be stored in a plastic box (with a hole in the roof to keep them ventilated), and are perfect for feeding with wheat bran. Storing them in the fridge slows down their metabolism, so they can last for several months. One plastic tube (packet) contains 10 Tenebrior molitor larvae. More than one can be ordered at the same time.
