Meal Worm Farm

I have a killer meal worm farm going. If anyone wants a culture, let me know. Very easy to keep. Kind of ugly to look at though.

i do want a culture and i just picked some up recently.i would love to get some info on how you go about raising them and if i could possibly get some adult beetles at some point that would be cool.i see apples and what is your substrate.i have purchased oat bran and wheat bran for that purpose.

Wheat bran is what we've been using. Apples and extra veges added to the mix. Seems to be working well. Happy to share.

alright good to know.maybe we can touch bases and you could drop me a line about em.i have some lizards who need there worms.what are you feeding if you dont mind my asking.

We have a leopard gecko. She couldn't possibly eat all of the meal worms that we're producing. The kids are convinced that she'll grow as large as your nile monitor if they feed her enough crickets and meal worms.

well.i have seen some pretty big leopard geckos bigger than my hand but not bigger than that.although that would be interesting.i am always wanting to go the home bred route.save a few dollars and i will know they are healthy foods.i am also wanting to try and feed em to my oscar and pond fish.

All you need is one of those long skinny plastic boxes that people put Christmas wrapping paper in. you know, about three feet long, two feet wide, 6 inches deep. You could produce dozens of worms per day with that kind of square footage.

yeah i know the bins your talking about.that may be a good way to go but i have to see how this one goes first.find all the short cuts and ways of seperating the beetles from larvae.

thanks a billion for the starter colony of beetles and eggs.now my production should be in full swing.i will post how it comes along as well as some of the benificiaries.home farmed worms.

My pleasure, glad to share. I didn't know how big you're planning to go so I gave you a modest helping of beetles. I would be happy to share more if want them.
