Mold

[ReptileAddiction]

So the other day I was taking care of my THOUSANDS of baby mealies and found mold in the container. Is it ok to still raise up the worms?

I would have to assume no. atleast not in that container. do more research tho.

No worries! It just means you left food in the container too long or there is too much moisture. Better ventilation and removal of food will be best so that you don't expand a huge colony of grain mites. They thrive when their is moisture and fresh grains. The mealworms are perfectly safe to raise and feed still. They don't eat mold.
