Starting to think it is easier to buy meal worms from someone like you, than it is to tend to three gardens, chickens, dogs, a pond, and acreage and still have time to bake and cook meals for my family. :) Fascinating video. Thank you

This is very helpful because I have a mealworm farm.

Hi, your videos are a real treasure! I'm just starting to breed worms and information from you is the best available on the internet.
Thanks to you, there will be a small, functioning worm farm in the Czech Republic.
Thank you for the great work and good luck with your farm! 🍀

Just subscribed. I have mealworms from my second grade classes at my school. They are done their insect unit and the teachers had to get rid of their beetles. Basically, this is what I'm starting with. There were only a few meal worms and larva remaining. So, I guess I'm starting with just beetles and building from there.
I like the racking system and will likely build one for my growing colony. Instead of feeding chickens (our township doesn't allow farm animals) so I'll be using it for fishing. Bait is getting expensive so why not just grow my own. I've got worms in bins and now it's time to build up a meal worm set up. Next year when the second grade needs mealworms I'll be ready to give back what they did for me. Actually I'll let them use the bins with eggs so they can see the whole process.

Thank you so much for your how-to videos. :) My daughter has a leopard gecko and we live in a rural area where a pet store is over 40 min away. This has given us great information on how to grow our own mealworms. The only problem is.... she wants chickens now. LOL ;p

I am new to this... THANK YOU! You answered every question I had.

[iphedianetwork]

Educational information. Very helpful. Thank you for the information.

[TraumaQueen]

Thanks Mike. Best mealworm info I've found so far 👍🏻

[Gwennydove]

We appreciate you putting ALL the info up on your site. Thank you. We think you have done a WONDERFUL and complete job!
I am wondering, since you recommend mealworms on your Amazon sheet list (and not selling them yourself), are they going to propagate? I have learned that some places that sell worms can be sprayed with “something” so that they do not propagate. We are interested in starting our own little mealworm farm for our chickens.
Not interested in just buying them the worms.
Thank you for your answer! And God bless you and your family.

Great info Mike, thankyou for sharing your breeding method it's been a huge help for me while I start up my mealworm set up

[MrLukeSimmonds]

Thanks for sharing man! Nice to see your passion!

[Vincent-tnut]

It's a pity I don't know English. I'm from Brazil and I raise the flour bug. I'm using google translator

[haideenavarro]

Thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge!

[timewoundsallheelsever]

Many thanks for showing and explaining your greatly organized and clean breeding colony ! I should like to have a go but on a smaller scale to feed the worms to my garden birds. Would love to learn more about the timings you are using for working through the different stages worms - pupae - beetles - eggs - worms. Also, can you delay transformation from worms to pupae by cooling; for how long can you keep the worm stage?

[courtneyklein]

Love your mealworm videos! You should do another follow-up/maintenance video!

[GeekyGeckoCreations]

where do you get those racks/bins? thanks! :D

[joechew]

thank you for the info. can you share how a mealworm farmer calculates sales and profit?
