Those poor babies... I remember taking care of one in school. Watching it from and egg to a teeny tiny worm that grew into a big larva. Once it got to the pupa stage I was so excited! I would visit my science class everyday I had school to check on him. (My teacher was so sweet, she just let me go see him on my lunch break lol) Then he turned into a beautiful Darkling Beetle. I called him "Valo" (It means Light in Finnish). I got to take him home. All the other kids thought I was weird because they didn't even want to look at their baby lol. I was a proud mama.

If you have thousands of beetles you won't have the time to pick them out. In that case, you would want a self sorting set up. If you don't want to pick the beetles out every week or two you can just use oats for their bedding and put a screen bottom on your drawer. Correct? And put very little bran in the drawer underneath that the eggs fall into. As you will want to keep adding to it's content every two weeks. Adding baby Mealies to the same drawer over and over. Be sure to add moisture so the drawer with the Mealy babies and eggs so they will grow big and strong. Hope this is correct. Great Video!

Thanks...Great vid...I just got chickens...love them...I’m so going to set this up ASAP! Keep up the channel...I live not too far in west mids too!

THANK YOU! Excellent tutorial! Love your instruction and your energy. Appreciate you taking the time to do this. Best of all to you!

Very interesting story. Thank you. Best greetings from entomologists in Ukraine!

Fantastic video and information :-) Thank you.

The bran feeds them and the veg and fruit gives them their liquids well done 🦄

An easy video to follow you explained it so well thank you sharing your video Regards Steve UK London

Thank you for your information

Good video hun appreciate the tips super helpful 🙃

what do you do with the dead beetles< can you feed those to the chickens as well??

Hi...is raising these live worms to feed more cost effective than feeding the dry ones? ie do you end up with enough on hand to feed your chickens?

I did not hear what the ideal temp is.

Great tutorial, have you eaten any mealworms?

Can you start with adult larvae or do you start with the beetle?

Hi, could you possibly give details of your tower storage boxes used for this purpose, I presume I could get them from Amazon but they list so many different ones and I would like to be sure of getting the ideal size. Thanks.

Do the adult beetles die after laying eggs? I just had my first hatch and moved my beetles over now 4 days later half have died and I'm not sure why.

What ratio of adult beetles to growing worms... And then how do you know how many worms to let mature to be your breeding stock? Do you put them in a special container? Could you sift the beetle drawer so the eggs fall through into a clean drawer rather than trying to pick out the adults?

The only thing I have at my house is oatmeal & the mealworms love it!

Can I use Zoo Med's - Eco Earth Coconut Fiber as a substrate for breading meal worms and super worm? Will I need bran or any additional food source or can I just use the Coconut Fiber without any other food source?

Since the eggs are microscopic and not visible to the human eye, how do you separate the Beatles from the eggs to prevent them eating them?

What was the other worm you had in there???

I Have European Starlings and They eat Mealworms like Crazy! 😳👍🏻

Nice information but if someone doesn't have worms so how we can produce it self thanks appreciate

What is the nam if this matereil

is the potato and carrot cooked ?

Qtn how do get water to the new hatchling ?

What is the bedding? I can't understand some of your words sorry. They video is very very good, I just need the name of your materials, etc. Thanks!

Aight imma feed ma leo gecko. Thanks! (Also help yourself to a free cookie)

How many do you start with?

Hi great video, at 4:40 you say you put the adults in the next drawer above, then at 4:49 you say the next drawer above contains the babies, can you please clarify? Thank you...

Cool

i subscribed when i saw you have a biltong video. i dont want to order it, and i cannot find anyone to make it

Name of things

nice

Will oatmeal work?

Can you send a written details please

I find that sifting them through the large size plastic canvas is a really easy way to separate most of the adults, if you find that a lot of young have hatched before you move them on

brains

seems like left out pupas
