Keep mealworms refrigerated . If mealworms are unused after 2 weeks, it is suggested to remove the container from the refrigerator and provide them with a small piece of vegetable prior to feeding your animal(s) - this will provide the highest nutrients to whomever consumes the mealworms. Allow them to stay at room temperature, out of the sun with plenty of ventilation, for 24 hours. Mealworms may be returned to the refrigerator after this time. This process can be repeated for up to three months. Refrigerated mealworms are dormant and will exhibit decreased activity. Allow them to warm to room temperature (ensure air holes are not obstructed) to increase physical activity.
