: If at all possible don't put your meal worms in plastic, unless you can leave the lid off while they are in your fridge. Plastic or metal, such as coffee cans all sweat and this will cause wet stinky mealworms. The best is to leave them in the cloth bag in the newspaper, the only time they need to be fed is if you leave the bag out for more than 10 min, then it needs to be left out long enough for them to eat and then digest there food before they are put back in a cool place. The worst thing that will happen if they are left out for along time is they will turn into pupae and then int beatles, which gliders will like also. MEALWORMS IF KEPT IN FRIDGE NEED TO BE IN SOMETHING THAT BREATHS. I store mine in a plastic shoe box by a cold window. Dont use a paper shoe box if you intend to leave them out of fridge, they will eat through it, but a cardboard one should work in the fridge. I feed several other critters mealworms and depending on time of year I buy 3000 to 5000. Other than the Grubco mentioned, I know of at least 2 others that give great service, anything that can come in the dead of winter to Montana and be alive are great companies.

Hmmm. My gliders are not interested in meal worm beetles.
