The bran is pretty cheap at my local feed store. I am going to be switching to organic nonGMO cornmeal because it will make it easy to sift through all the mealworms to separate them all out:)

I don't know yet because I haven't got that far:) I think I've seen organic non-GMO corn meal in this organic store near my house. If all else fails I will probably just turned the oats into a powder and that will work as well.

HFI_Matt ~ Humble Servant ~ OFFLINE ADMIN Posts: 927 Good Job(s): 108	These are so easy to breed and raise! Done the right way all you will really have to do is feed them once a month and sift out feeders:) What do you mean "with just normal worms"?
