To store mealworms for the long haul or 2-3 months at a time, I recommend placing them in the refrigerator in small deli cups or smooth-sided plastic containers. Be sure to keep them between temps of 40-50F and add a tiny bit of bedding like oats or bran in the containers.

For short-term keeping, I like to place them in the same containers but kept at room temperature between 65-70F. This way, the worms are still active yet not growing at such a rapid rate that they get too large to be fed off.

Giant Mealworms are several times larger than regular mealworms but not as big as Superworms. Giants are a great source of protein for a large number of reptiles, amphibians, and birds. Be sure to gutload your mealworms before you feed them to your pet for a more nutritious meal. Giants are also great for trout fishing, as they are more buoyant than earthworms.

Care instructions:
Place the container of giant mealworms and bedding in a refrigerator. Remove the giant mealworms about once a week and give them a water source, such as sliced apples, carrots or potatoes. Armstrong’s packs giants in a grain-based bedding material that also acts as food for the giant mealworms. You can add oatmeal, wheat germ or corn meal for an additional food source. .It is better to have a fresh stock and not order more than a two-week supply at a time
