    Mealworm farming

    Quote: mjohnston, yes we mean to freeze them to ice. Hannahkat wrote awhile back that when she thawed out the worms they looked like fresh unfrozen. However within a few hours, they turn black. I think that the trick is to feed as soon as thawed. Welcome to the thread. We were in Madrid in...

    Mealworm farming

    Sure somebody made this question before but I missed the answer. When you write about freezing the worms you mean" taking them to ice" or just coolling them down to slow their metabolism? Thanks and regards from Spain

    self waterer not refilling

    I used to work outside all year along. In summer time I used to to put my plastic jar, filled 3/4, in the freezer the night before. In the morning I filled the rest of the water, and this would last cold for several hours. Now I do the same with my chicken waterers. Just take care you don´t it...

    dog food versus chicken food

    I think this will be the reason. When I let them free range on my backyard they would kick each other trying to get first to the dog bowl though their feeder is just refilled. Thanks from Spain.
