HELLO PET LOVERS!
Meal worms are a great supplement to feeding your backyard chickens, or to be fed to reptiles and wild birds. Thankfully it is cheap and easy to raise them at home! For the cost of a small container of meal worms you could instead set up your own colony. Here I give you all the details from a container, to bedding, breeding cycle and feeding!

Great vid! I started farming my mealworms a fyew weeks ago I started with 2 small pots and then I didn’t have many left due to feeding them to birds! I then thought why not breed them it’s a lot cheaper so I went out and got 4 small pots and then I had about 40 pupae and today I had my first pupae hatch today not I have two dark beetles and I have three that are almost ready can’t wait to have more mealworms!

9:27 <---- And then do Not though the frass away because either You can use in on your garden or plants or find someone that will, because it's pretty great natural fertilizer!!!

Interesting - thanks! Would like to see a follow up on how you filter / change the bedding. (Can you start a new colony/box with some of the adult beetles? Not sure how many are in your container.)
