hey this is a pretty simple question, what kind of bran do i keep my mealies in? the stuff i got is a cereal called ''wheat bran''. its sort of strands of bran. is this good? i also just tossed in some carrot

I used to use oat barn but I licke to mix up the veggies and fruit I gave them as a water supply. apples, carrots, oranges, celery pretty much what ever was kickin around.

we use white or red bran from the balk food store and ad carrots

I also use white and red bran, I also mix in some wheat germ. I always give them fruits and veggies as well. I got big bags of the 2 brans and wheat germ for only $2.50 at the bulk bran store!

At the pet store that i go to they keep them in bran thats very small ..almost looks like sand..and the bran i use is like flakes...its kind of hard to describe

[jason h]

actually when it looks like sand that is the eaten bran it is also an indicator as to when you should add or change the bran

[skillz]

hmm i geuss that pet store sin;t very good...because the whole thing looked like sand..

That's roughly the mix I use and it seems to work fine, just started raising my own a month or so ago... have a colonly of beetles, but no second generation Mealies yet.
