Many of you have requested a more detailed video on setting up meal worms.
In this video we will show you how to set up AND how to breed your worms. We use and recommend the Insect Buffet breeder size bag for smaller tubs like the ones in this video. It will be enough to go though 2 complete cycles of breeding mealworms. This is the best food that we have ever used for breeding crickets and mealworms.
Get it here:
www.coldbloodcreations.online...
We offer a monthly subscription. Get a bag of Insect Buffet breeder quantity every month when your worm breeding cycle will start again. No need to remember to order fresh food for your beetles every month. Order and save 10% on every bag. Keep your beetles on fresh food every month as your baby worms grow.
Thanks for watching!

Our school just ordered meal worms for the first time to watch them go through their life cycle. Unfortunately, they all arrived as adult beetles with very minimal to no real way to care for them. Your video was extremely helpful with what all we need to do to watch the "next generation" grow and how to care for them in the process. Thank you so much!

Mealworms are hecka easy. All you do is leave em be 🤷 Provide them teat tubes with water blocked off with cotton balls ☝️ And give them fruits and veggies once every other day. Sometimes you can even go on weeks without giving them food. But they most definitely need water to drink. And most importantly, have a few oatmeal as substrate. It doesn’t even have to be 1 inch deep

To breed them, not from a pet store as they sometimes have chemicals that keeps them from being able to continue their cycle and will instead just grow bigger and bigger. I personally bought mine specially for birds sense those chemicals can’t be ingested by birds (and will be healthier for your dragon). Again don’t buy from a basic pet store

I got 2000 mealworms to start. So far, I'm pretty sure I've lost about 1500. Everytime I check the box it's full of dead worms. I sort through and remove them, put in fresh ground oatmeal, put in some apple and carrot, and get the same results in a few days. Any ideas? I do have about 10 beatles and about 50 larvae soon to be beatles. So other than the dead guys, everything else seems fine.

I am guessing you just breed these for pet food? I want to breed them to sell. I have watched several videos of others doing this. You use litter boxes? That would be cheaper than some videos. They show special pans, special buckets to collect the frass and skins, etc. Did you use soft wheat bran for food? Have seen the Amazon sifters are usually used in most videos. I have a small amount now that I been giving finely ground cornmeal. They dont seem particularly lively as your's did (and yes I am giving them apples). So how many meals worms are you producing monthly?

Lesson learned if ya see one ant smash it and know there's more and make sure your insects are in a safe place 😊
