Mealworm Substrate/Food Question

[calestus]

I hope this is the right place for this.

I was wondering how many of you who raise mealworms supplement thier bedding with something like fortified fish flake food. Do mealworms eat animal protien? Or are they stricly a grain type feeder? Right now i have mine in a bed of rolled oats/wheat bran/powdered milk/repti-vite bed. They are doing very well but i'd like for them to be injesting something that has alot of vitamins in it already as opposed to on it. My roaches make fish flake food disapear overnight, would the meal worms touch it? I saw a thread with superworms that torn into the stuff.

Thanks,
Erick
