Thanks,I use bran instead of oats,and keep a potato sliced in half for the bit of moisture they need.
Right, you can use Bran, I use this chow mix to give them some variety. The mealworm and beetles like all kind of stuff like chicken liver , fruits like appies and carrots.I know they say just use a potatoes or carrots for moisture which I do, but I mist them every other day with a little tap water, and they seem to like this a lot.
Yup,they are about the easiest bait to raise,I would think more folks would give them a try,nothing like having live bait any time you need it.
I just give mine a lettuce leaf every few days....they get both their food and water from it.
I know, but I like spoiling mine.:)Quote:

Believe it or not, they like Bluegill carcass, I don't know if that's some kind of revenge. :)Quote:

I use two bathroom face towels folded in half, and the mealworms love getting inside of them, I also like to give them additional water too, I see them drinking it up.Quote:
