just house your mealworm along with some dry oat meal,perform maintenance every week and your mealworm can last for very long. Throw away all the cocoon.

Male scorpion tend to not eat often. Correct me if I'm wrong. N don't leave fruit on ur mealworms colony for long time bcos it can cause high humidity n kill ur mealworm n make it smell bad. E.g. Apple, pear or any that hold many water. Give them oat or can use cheap oat from any aseng shop to use it as a substrate. Sometime give them sliced/cutted carrot. Small piece also can. Bcause carrot don hold much water. Seperate the cocoon n u can also breed them as ur own mealworm's colony.

P/s: if ur scorps dun want to eat cricks or mealworms.. Jus dun feed them for along time...n buy popcorn. Let them eat each others n watch them doing it (u eat the popcorn while watching them killing each other). Feel like watching gladiator.

Jus come up wit that word. Lol. U shud google caresheet for mealworm. N if u r not lazy kindly daily rmove the molted skin. Try to use dubia as ur main feeder as it hold more protein. Dubia also not so smelly than blatta.

Oh, i was thinking catching crickets species on my own cuz the species of the aquarium is way to different, they died easily and its much more bigger, the other species i catched in some place have very nice sound~ and easy to feed on(not me feed on them, the scorps do)
