Hi Frank, Mine like grasshopers. The mealworms come in a small container. They usually have 50 in one container. If you don't use them fast enough, they turn in to bettles. Yucky  . I mixed oats in with thier food and give it daily. Mine love carrots, almonds, walnuts, apples, and broccoli. I have yet to try pine nuts and linseeds. |

Hey J, There are plenty outside here in South Carolina. My son Evan, is 4 and loves bugs!! I had asked previously on here what other forms of protien could we use. Some one said crickets so I thought hey my little guy already has a bug catcher full of grasshoppers can I use those. Sure enough I can. As a matter of fact, I (well actually Evan) hand fed them grasshoppers and crickets today!! They really love them. They scoff them up. I can't handle the crunching sound myself but they go crazy for them. I only give them one every couple of weeks. I will not be able to do that long since it is going to be too cold. Here is a picture of the guys eating some: CowBoy  Bubba  |
