    Mealworm farming

    I'm having a problem where my mealworms are pupating and then they just dry up and die. Anyone have any idea's on what the problem is and what I can do to correct this.

    Mealworm farming

    I did move them from the garage to inside house where it's 75, but have very few worms left as most seem to have turned to beetles. Still suffering beetle lost but not sure of their life span.

    Solar Electric Fence Charger

    Thanks for the reply's , the 10 x30 run are dog panels and I have 3 foot hardware cloth at the bottom and a 18 inch apron out from the bottom. Thinking electric would stop climbers? Also looking for idea's to cover top.

    Solar Electric Fence Charger

    I have a run that is 10 x 30 and I don't have electric anywhere close. Has anyone used a solar charger and if so can you recommend a brand and anything else I should look for such as power rating.

    Horizontal Nipples

    Hi I have a dozen hens that I want to use the horizontal nipples in a five gallon bucket. How many nipples should I use and do I need more than one bucket?
