You can put them in the fridge. They will hybernate but then when you take them out and put them in your anoles cage then they will start to move around as they warm up. You do not need to feed them.

yea u do need to feed them, give them apples, potatoes, or carrots for food and for water, you can give them wet paper towels.keep them at room temperature because they are less active in cold temperature.And some anoles like insects that move alot =D

 I have a question...

meal worms arent the best food choice... they have a chitinous exoskeleton that may cause an impaction, just play it safe and feed them other stuff. I try to vary my anoles’ diets as much as possible with: crickets, waxworms, moths, fruit flies, and lots of other safe bugs

If you wait until the mealworms molt or whatever it is that they do, shed their hard skin, the new skin will be soft at first and that would be an okay time to feed them to your lizards.
