[QUOTE="TokeHound, post: 202132, member: 37440"] Okay, so, I have to comment on this. I KNOW you're supposed to keep mealworms in the fridge, BUT I have worked in many pet shops that sell mealworms and keeping them in the fridge seems to kill them quicker. We would get shipments of mealworms and they would be kept in the fridge with their brand flake and they would be dead in a week. Now that I am a Tarantula Keeper, I started getting mealworms because god forbid someone sells Red Runner Roaches here, and I have kept them out of the fridge and I feed them whatever vegetables I have. Potatoes, lettuce, whatever. I've had these mealworms for 4 weeks and none of them have died. [/QUOTE]
