Beetles in Stock (Mealworms mid October)

For the worms alone, I'd sell 500 for $5. Shipping via USPS Priority Mail costs $4.80, so shipped that way it would be $10 total. I think USPS First Class would be a couple dollars. If you want to pay whatever shipping is in addition to $5, I'll sell them to you for that. Let me know.

Spunky~Chick~Mom :

I am interested in the started pack. With as many worms as it is possible to start with.

38776.

How much would that be??

The starter pack will include 1000 mealworms, 50 new beetles (ready to start laying eggs!

), two 6 quart plastic containers (with precut and screened vent holes in the lids), and enough wheat bran for each (about a gallon Zip-lock full). This will sell for $30 (shipping included). If you want more worms, I can add them for whatever the listed price is for the worms minus $5 (i.e. to add 2000 extra worms to your order, it would cost the listed shipped price of $20 - $5 = $15 more.)

Let me know what you'd like and I'll PM you my PayPal info!​

The more I keep thinking about it I think I will try to go with a starter pack as well. Please pm me your paypal info.

Yes, I'll give you a sheet with some tips for raising mealworms based on my experiences. Also, I'll list some links to great resources on the internet. It's pretty easy to raise them.

Let me know what you want.

I hope you can sell them. I know what it's like to have more than a million and nothing to do with them. It's just an impossible situation. With shipping included, your prices are MUCH more than reasonable and MUCH better than the commercial sellers.
GOOD LUCK!

Thanks Joe! When I first started my mealworm "farm" I did do the math when estimating how many mealworms I'd end up with, but you don't really realize how many it is 'til you see them all growing up! I do wonder whether it's really worth my time to sell these, but they do need good homes

. Response has been good so far.

Thanks for your tips on raising mealworms in your great post awhile back. I especially liked the tip on putting folded paper on top of the bran to collect the big mealworms.
