Questions
How long will Super worms keep , if cared for correctly
- I've had my 100 superworms for about a month. The ones that haven't been eaten yet are still very lively. Usually they'll last up until the time when they turn into beetles, unless your reptiles eat those, then they're still good, but if they don't get eaten as beetles, they tend to prey on you pet when they're sleeping. It could be months before the worms turn into beetles though.

How do you keep the superworms alive?
- actually I've been told they will die if you refrigerate them. I just keep them in the cool house. I cut up an apple, give them a small slice every few days, and they eat it voraciously. I'm told to leave the skin on to maintain moisture.

Superworm bedding?
- It's wheat bran, but cornmeal or oatmeal (old fashion not instant) works too.
