On Protecting Mealworms prior to Feeding Them to Lizard
So, today, I set out to clean my leopard gecko's cage and feed him. I had put the mealworms in a small bowl with no lid (I don't know where the original lid is anymore; it did have air holes) and left them to eat some lettuce. After cleaning the cage and putting the lizard back inside, I noticed that all the worms were dead. I saw a small fly (or maybe it was a gnat) inside, so my best guess is that a bunch of the bugs attacked and killed the worms.
I know the most conventional way to prevent this is to find a good lid with air holes, but are there any other methods you people know of?
