Very informative. Thanks for writing this @notabitail!
I'm going to start a mealworm farm for my chooks.
I have a tank, and the drawer. I've not started the farm yet.
I might try both.
Thanks!!

Thank you and you're welcome! Try the tank first. I have found it to work the best. If you do the drawers make certain that there is plenty of ventilation. Have fun!

Solid article, good pictures of the stages of development. I'm planning to start a mealworm farm. I don't have access to a place to order them from, but I suspect theres a whole bunch in my compost pile where I could harvest them.

Thank you:). If you have native mealworms there might be some there. Good luck!
