• Upon arrival, it is important to remove the thin fabric inside the cup & discard, as this is for shipping purposes only.
• Upon arrival, it is very important to feed your Minimealworms a chunk of potato or other vegetable so they can regain the moisture lost during shipping.
• Make sure your Minimealworms have fresh air circulation!   If you keep them in the cups provided, you must "stagger-stack" the cups making sure that the air holes remain open & clear. Or just leave the lids off entirely. If keeping in a different container, keep uncovered or make sure the lid you use is well vented to ensure air circulation.
• Keep them in bran or oats, with a potato chunk or other vegetable for them to feed on.
• You may "gut-load" as you see fit.
• For best results, we highly recommend keeping them at room temperature.  
•  
• Room Temperature Storage:   
• Keep in container of your choice, with the proper air circulation.
• Keep in substrate of your choice, bran or oats.
• Feed chunk(s) of potato or other vegetable every or every other day, or as it disappears. It is important to feed them as needed so that they will retain moisture.
• They can last a month or more before they begin to morph into beetles.

Please note: When shipped in winter months, the worms may go slightly dormant during transit. Give them time to warm up to room temperature to regain their full activity.

• Remember: These are Minimealworms™!

These are not common standard mealworms and are not similar to them in care requirements.

They are HIGHLY ACTIVE, much more so than the common standard mealworm, therefore they have a higher metabolism and require more moisture and nutrition during storage, unlike the common standard mealworm.
