RAISING MEALWORMS

To raise these animals, you will need about 50 of the mealwoms. A plastic sweater box makes a good container for raising the beetles. Prapare a mixture of wheat grains, instant oatmeal and powdered skim milk, fill the sweater box with 2" of that. Cover the whole thing with a layer of damp paper towel, add a few pieces of fresh fruit to mantain humidity. Add the mealworms and place the container in a dark warm place. The worms will tunnel through the cereal, eating as they go.
