This kit contains much of what you need to house mealworms. This kit includes:

• 6 quart Culturing Containers (x2)

These plastic culturing containers are perfect for housing several thousand mealworms for a long period of time. Josh's Frogs recommends cleaning out the containers with a 5% bleach solution or ReptiSan between batches of mealworms.

• Cardboard Egg Flats (x15)

Cardboard egg flats are ideal for providing a place for your mealworms to crawl on, and can be used to gather them when you need some mealworms for feeding - just pick up the egg crate and shake the mealworms off into a feeding cup. Typically there will be some mealworms hanging out on the egg flat. Josh's Frogs recommends dividing each egg flat in two, and placing the pieces on top of the mealworm bedding.

• Josh's Frogs Mealworm Bedding

Josh's Frogs Mealworm Bedding, made of nutritious wheat bran, is the perfect substrate and food source for both mealworms and superworms. Mealworm Bedding also makes the perfect breeding substrate for mealworms! Add Mealworm Bedding to the culturing container to a depth of 3-4 inches. To breed mealworms, simply take care of them as usual until they pupate and turn into beetles, then introduce the beetles into the second breeding container or let them stay in the existing container. Mealworms will need a water source - Josh's Frogs Insect Watering Gel, carrots, or potatoes work well for this.

• Mealworms - 100 count

With this kit, you'll also receive 100 healthy, thriving mealworms for culturing or feeding, straight from Josh's Frogs!
