Keeping them cool allows you to adjust the temperature higher than a standard refrigerator while still slowing their development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA refrigerator door shelf between \u003cstrong\u003e42°F and 50°F\u003c\/strong\u003e is a suitable range. At these temperatures, the mealworms will become dormant and can remain in good condition for up to two weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter two weeks, remove the mealworms from refrigeration and add a small amount of Easy Water to the top of the bedding. Allow the mealworms to remain at room temperature for about \u003cstrong\u003e24 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e. This gives them time to wake up, become more active, and consume food and water. The mealworm bedding also serves as their food source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 24 hours, remove any remaining Easy Water and return the mealworms to refrigeration.
