The bottom layer is a bedding of shredded and slightly damp newspaper, with a little soil mixed in. A happy place for the worms to lay their eggs.

Yes, that works good, but if you want something cheaper, you can use oatmeal. Thats what I have always used for my mealworm bedding, and it has always worked great. Throw in sliced apples and potatoes every now and again (for moisture/water) and you will be fine!

Oat or wheat based breakfast cereal works, use a small dish/plate for giving them moist foods or the dry stuff gets damp and mouldy. I remove enough for the next 2 days and feed them on cricket feed just for the extra calcium and vitamins the main colony just gets cheap stuff
