Very easy u literally leave them n a few months u have a boat load of mealworms you wont have enough to feed to your frogs; i feed some of mine to the birds outside...lol!
Mealworms are not a good staple. The chitin that their exoskeleton is made from is very difficult for frogs and toads to digest. They can cause imaction and death if fed in large numbers. The same goes for super worms which are a giant mealworm. I hear dubia roaches are the way to go and earthworms/night crawlers. They live longer and are a much more nutritious food source.
