I just got mealworms.
Any tips though? I’m kind of a newbie at keeping mealworms…
How often should I feed them?
How many should I feed them?

Most ants need food every 3-4 days(Unless a specialized species). The mealworms should be kept at 60 F and take them out every 2-4 weeks(confirm please) and feed them a vegetable.
When you accidentally reply to yourself…
