gut loading meal worms?

[bmxdannyo]

how exactly do you gut load meal worms other than putting powder stuff on them, i tried giving them carrots but they didnt touch them and the carrots rotted... so if you have any ideas let me know please

The powder you put on them isn't gut loading. Thats calcium.

i feed mine high quality pellet food. Since my fish don't go for them but will go for feeders. I try feed the meal worms 30 minutes before they become dinner. That was some of the pellet food hasn't been fully digested.

I've also heard they will eat cricket cubes. but I would agree with flake food or leafy veggies.

I feed my mealworms potatoes, baby carrots, oats, cereal like cheerios, etc...

Basically anything that's fresh and healthy for you, the mealworms will eat, which will be good for your pet that consumes the mealworms.
