Mealworms Drown

So..I've been raising mealworms for a project.

I put carrots in their tub and the majority of them won't touch it, I've also got oat bran in there so they can burrow and stuff. Well I thought they were maybe thirsty since I haven't been giving them water and they haven't been eating the carrots. I read online that some people sprinkle water. So I put a little water in the tub and it hits some worms on the way. The ones that get splashed on squirm like they're having a seizure and eventually stop, not moving at all. I think they died..

Anyway..don't water your mealworms, I guess I over did the "sprinkling".
