whether you want to raise mealworms or not, that was an example of how to make an informative and easy to watch youtube video. Good Job!

Man, ive watched at least 12 different videos on building a meal worm setup, this is the ONLY one that got straight to the point, didnt have any shaking camera work that made me feel like was suffering a Parkinsons episode and i didnt hear you sniff once! ( why do ppl with colds make videos ffs?) ..Good onya Ninjineer! Top shelf!

I’ve been raising mealworms for almost a year and labored over keeps shelves and shelves and shelves organized. This is the first system that I’ve found can make my job so much easier. Thank you so much!

The is THE BEST video on this topic! We don't want the lengthy, chatty videos, we want eazy, smart-thinking videos like this!

I've got my 3rd month of mealworms started using your method. Having a great time explaining it to people and showing of my worms. Thanks for a really good video.

Yes! No more buying mealworms for our baby chickens! Thanks 😃

Very well explained and overall awesome tutorial. Thanks for posting!

It's 3 am I don't have animals why am I watching this

i have absolutely no need for a mealworm farm, but this video was fascinating

If anyone doesn't have a drill to poke the holes, you can use a nail heated in the flame of a gas stovetop to melt a hole through the plastic very quickly. I've done this before because I don't have a drill. Be very careful though, wear an oven mitt, the nail is very very HOT!

Rad dude!!! I wanna do something like this for our chickens to have good protein snacks!

Thank you. I've watched a few mealworm videos and this is by far both the most succinct and the most immediately informative. Six minutes all in. Great job; well done. You have my vote.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING A FULL DIY VID!! Sooo many people use this breeding bin method, but never actually show how to make this!! THANK YOU!!

Here's my trick to get them to start changing. I take a flat pan and put one-quarter inch of dry oatmeal in it. Then I sprinkle the adult worms, like a 50 cup from the pet store, all over the oatmeal. Then I take a squirt bottle full of pure water on the Mist setting, and spray it eight to ten times, from about a foot away, so that just the surface of the oatmeal and the worms get a nice little drenching, like Dew in the morning. Not enough to soak the oatmeal all the way to the bottom. The bottom half of the oatmeal should be dry if you move it around with your finger a little. Wetting the oatmeal makes the worms Chow Down and pack their bellies with food. This helps them begin metamorphosis. Then I leave it in a quiet place open to the air, and within a day or two, you will begin seeing them starting to pupate. Check the oatmeal now and then and when it gets completely dried out, spray it the exact same way. When you get the white pupae, transfer them to a dry container with just oatmeal and no water so that they can transform in peace without getting wet rot. Leave a ball of wet paper towel in there for moisture but do not soak the oatmeal. They will turn into beetles in no time.

I've been wanting to do this for a while per my wife's request. This is going to save me a ton of money, and make my fowl super fat and happy! Thanks for the video! I'm going to go make one right now!

I'm new at raising mealworms, (having bought them for years, I've decided to try my hand at raising them.). I kept hearing the mesh method bor separating the beetles from the eggs but couldn't find the actual directions. Your video was excellent and showed exactly how it's done. Thanks!

This was the easiest tutorial I’ve ever watched thank u...

I found these containers at Target, they are Hefty brand “Hi-Rise” model, 32 quart and 18 quart. The 18 fits nicely into the 32. One word of caution, they do crack easily when cutting them (drilling was no problem). I used a dremmel type cut off wheel on a drill to cut the rectangular hole. I will start my farm tomorrow!

very first time in my life, a video with just information not jiber jaber. thanks for saving the time to comment you back with.

Clear, clean, easy tutorial, no music, no waffle, awesome

Thank you so much!!! I was hand picking the baby worms from the bottom and it was a PAIN, now with this I can just sit back and relax and let my mw's do there stuff! I'm subscribing just because I'm going to save so much time

Thank you so much! I've been watching videos on how to raise meal worms and reading comments on how to separate them during all stages and was about to give up because it seemed like it would take up too much time an space. Then I came across your easy to understand setup. Headed to the store now! Keep up the great work!

Best mealworm farm video out there. No waffling and all the information I needed was there. Cheers!

Simple and professional. Thank you. This video wipes out others that drag on and on and tell you nothing.

Awesome tutorial video, just built one, but instead of building the wooden frame, i found a picture wood frame at Walmart that fit the one inch area just right.

This is brilliant! I've been looking for an organized, space-wise system like this, as I'm currently keeping my worms and beetles in a small room. Thanks so much!

Best instructional video I have ever watched. Thank you so much!!!

Dude you nailed it man. Quick, easy and simple to understand. I’m gonna use your method. Thank you so much.

I am in agreement with others that this is a really well made DIY video. Lots of information with minimization of the banal stuff, like drilling, cutting, stapling, etc. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! This was such a creative video and I loved the idea of this. Also, the clips were very nicely taken and everything was very well edited. Great tutorial! I can tell a lot of effort went into creating this

This is the best, most straightforward demonstration of exactly how to build and maintain a mealworm farm. Thank you!

This is THE best tutorial for meal worms! Thank you

This was the best video I saw all day. Not long and drawn out. Thanks!!

we just got our order of meal worms today you did an excellent job and we are going to try the self sort tub idea also! thank you for posting and keep up the great videos

Such a great video all around. Quick, easy, clear, totally understandable and do-it-yourselfable. Well done. And now I feel confident in finally breading my own mealworms. Thanks.

Outstanding and to the point video. Just the information I need to grow meal worms efficiently for my chickens. Great work. Thank you

I remember raising a mealworm in first grade 😂 it was so fun and I was surprised to find a beetle and a mealworm in my container because idk who it bred with 😂

Great video! Super informative and to the point. I am going to try this method for my little guys. Thank you.

This is one of the best videos for a mealworm setup. It works and isn't complicated 👌

excellent design - functional and simple. thanks for posting

This is a REALLY sweet idea. I NEVER even thought of something like this. Looks like I know wat Im gonna try n throw together next weekend. THANKS!!!

That was the best mealworm farm DIY video I've ever seen! Thank you so much.

Great video! Explained very well with step-by-step instructions. I just finished my mealworm farm and looking forward to saving some money!

Dude you did a great job explaining it ..so detailed ray Charles could follow your instruction

I see a very bright future for your channel! Great job on the video, very informative and I have no questions to ask.

I want to express my gratitude on the BEST video on youtube. I went through so many and got frustrated until I found yours. You were very thorough but respectfully gave us time to really understand just how to put this together. Thank you so much!!! ❤

Young man, a good food for thought, no padding, no waffle, to the point video. Info duly noted in my mealworm notepad and onto the next video if needed for further in depth info. Always willing to see different ideas on doing jobs, Way to go - thank you.

Made this cause I have 2 hungry geckos and im tired to spending $15 every other week on worms. So far iv saved close to $300. Thank you so much!

"... and a couple of other animals" Including humans... Yes, yes, yes...

Out of all the meal worm videos I have watched, this one was by far the best and easiest setup.

Thanks for sharing this video. I can't wait to start my mealworm farm!!

for those not used to lumber calculations: 1/2in x 1 1/2 in (actual) = "1x2" in the store

Hi, I've just built your mealworm farm and it's by far the best system (and video) out there. I understand the breeding cycle and the need to rotate the beetles over the 'nurseries' every three weeks or so. Do you keep one cycle of mealworms to continue the growing/breeding cycle? If not, at what point do I reserve mealworms to maintain the breeding beetle population? Awesome instructional by the way.

Best video I've see yet. Using this setup for my mealworm farm. Thank you for the video.

Excellent video, you did not waffle, you got straight to the point, the video was clear and your instructions faultless, well done. Most instructional videos I sit there and get so impatient screaming at the screen telling them to hurry up, or shut and get to the point, we don't care what the weather is like outside at your house or how cute your dog is watching you arrgghh!!!! I'm starting a meal worm farm for my chickens down under in NZ, thank you for this very professional tutorial!"

This sounds like a minecraft tutorial

Ah, yes, hammer in all the staperills.

Simple. I'm watching a group of videos tonight. You answered some questions that weren't answered in the others. Well done.

Thankyou, answered all my questions in such a clear way.

How long do the beetles live for? I'm assuming you have to put some mealworms or pupae in the top to keep the breeding stock up; how often do you have to do that?

The thumbnail and title reminded me of minecraft tutorials. Lol “Automatic cow cooking farm” I don’t even know why I am here. I DO have a bearded dragon, but I don’t feed meal worms : / I use dubias

Excellent!!! Straight and to the point.

Thanks for the simple and easy to understand tutorial. Great job.

He forgot to say also feed it to Humans.

Can I feed them to my human pets as well?

I know this was 7 years ago but wow! You were so so great at "teaching" and explaining! Perfect. Thank you 😊

Best tutorial I've seen on the topic. Thanks for sharing!

My question is, how do you know when to discard the "frass" without discarding eggs?

whenever I buy the meal worms can I put them at the top and just leave them their , so when the Beatles hatch I don't have to move them?

I've watched many videos on how to start a mealworm farm, and so far, this is the best explination so far. Well done explaining each step and then showing it!

My wife n I are really happy to have found this in my recommended feed today, Well Done!

My ants eat meal worms like complete savages. (edit) My, pet carpenter ants

This really helped Im thinking of starting my own farm for my reptiles because buying them at the store ,is burning a huge hole in my wallet

Simple and efficient set up and presented very well. Thank you.

Thank you. My husband built this from watching your video. We are going to start a mealworm setup soon. Great job.

What's the nutritional value on average for a meal worm?

Im just gonna breed mealworms as a hobby

I loved this video. So helpful. Looks like the best way to start a nice little farm. Thank you! I just went out and bought my tubs. When I re-watched the video to check how often to rotate top tub, I hear you say get 200 meal worms... I ordered 1000! haha here we go!!!

THanks!! Simple, easy, and nice explanation!!!!

I'm trying to raise mealworms to eat

Do humans count as an animal to consume them?

Wow! That's a great thing to sorting out the mealworms. I am gonna surely make this one. Thanks for sharing it. 👍

WOW! Very impressed. Easy instructions. Thank you. :) I started a red worm farm as well a few months ago. Doing well with that. The red worms and the meal worms are for food source for my 'all-natural' chickens food source. Its crazy expensive for meal worms! So, I'll sell some as well. Great video!

I feel like I'm watching a minecraft tutorial

What about the poo..

This is a fantastic video! Very well explained and easy to follow. Thank you. I will be trying this out now.

Very easy to understand. Thank you

yeah I went screw crazy in my youth too

Excellent! Freeze like I do with bulk flours! My neighbor gave me a huge container of poop. Brilliant~I was concerned of eggs going into my outdoor organic garden. Been a CSLB Landscape Contractor back into 90's. Pro-organic with my garden, though have not Pro worked much for yrs. Thank you! Happy gardening!

Perfect explanation!! Thanks I’m going to build this!

Thanks, I will give it a go. Easy to understand and follow along.

Very concise and directly to the point! This is how every tutorial video should be. You, Sir, earn a freakin medal!

That was excellent, thank you for giving us relevant, concise information!!

This is the best video I've seen yet on how to separate beetles from eggs!

Great plan. You explained it well. Good presentation. No irritable comments like..."the beetles get together and well they khawham ha ha" No irritatiog fillz-ns which nobody listens to. GOOD JOB! GOOD INFORMATION!

The best video on how to start mealworms hands down!

Love that this is straight to the point and I love the setup and will probably use this. My only input from experience with a self-sorting setup is that the beetles/mealworms chew right through hardware "cloth". So I'm just switching to the metal hardware cloth. Instead of going to walmart and getting the screening material, I highly recommend going to an Ace or Home Depot and getting tight wire cloth.

Good Job in explaining how to do it!!

Genius! Thanks for sharing

Very helpful and to the point, which is appreciated!
