How long.....????

How long do you guys think 5000 Mealworms will last in the fridge?? I keep on running low (right now i have less than 25 mealworms) and im thinking about ordering 5000 so i dont have to keep on worrying about running low. It'll take me about 2 months or a little more to feed them all. What do you guys think???

2 months should ok ok, I'd not try and have them last any longer. I've kept them for 6 weeks int he fridge with no problems.

ok cool thanks. I hate it when i run out of food for them lol. I just ordered 5000 Mealworms $31 shipped. At my local reptile swap, they sell 1000 mealworms for $11, so i just saved $23 sweet lol. Ya this'll keep them fed for a while

I get 10,000 for $43 shipped and they usually last 8 weeks or so but I keep them in the basement were it is about 60, my fridge is set at 38 and that will kill them, lost close to 10,000 the hard way putting them in my fridge. If your fridge is warmer they should be fine. Grubco's site says they need to be 40-50 and food spoils at anything above 43 pretty fast so most times your fridge is 43 or below.
