i bought 200 superworms yesterday and put some carrot in there for them to drink and nowi see all of them on the top

are they looking for food?

if so what should i feed them ?

can i feed them the same gutload as i give my crieckets ?

what elce should they eat and where can i get it?

thank you for your help everyone

Superworms like to burrow. Put enough regular oatmeal over them to cover and they will be happy. You can also put a slice of potato in the container, but all that is necessary really is the oats.

so i should use oatmeal only and that will be their substrate and food ?

Oats for bedding with the occasional carrot is just fine.

Yes, the oats are bedding/food. Iv used the gutload from cricketfood.com but whatever works.

I put oats and bran about two inches deep in a container, for the worms to borrow around in. For food I toss in carrot, apple, dead leaves, dead (from natural causes) crickets, squash, coconut, etc and they eat the bran and oats too. Its hard to go wrong, really.

i have a question then why are all of my worms on the top right now and it looks like they are searching for food

They're all on top of the oatmeal? Maybe they are thirsty?

i have not put them in oatmeal yet they are on top of the bedding they came in and i put a couple slices of carrot yesterday

They will dig around the oatmeal and should be all safely tucked away by evening.
