Calling JOEBRYANT!...JOEBRYANT! Meal Worms on line 2! Pick-up, Please!

do you do wormies too?

I didn't realize how many wormy people are here and how many people are interested in it... but you all are crazy, so who am I kiddin? It's to be expected.

As for shipping them, I've heard it is very easy. If you are just sending the worms, you can put them in a bit of the 'bedding', and stick them in a small container (I've read yogurt containers work well). Then just drop them in a #4 priority box, and away they go!

I'll let you practice on me if you want, redhen

Sending a starter colony would be more expensive, but you would just take a chunk out of your own colony, put it in a plastic tote box with some food, stick it in a ventilated box and voila!

I need to, but right now I live with my father. He doesn't care that I've turned the spare bedroom into a 'chicken house' (as he puts it), but he says there is no way I'm keeping worms in the house too.

I know now they would do fine outside, I wonder if I could use a heating pad or something in the winter? I could always stick them under my bed, dad never looks in here anyway. I'd just have to hide it from my kid, or he'd rat me out

ETA: There needs to be more people doing it, there was a shortage on them earlier this year. I'm not sure if they have bounced back yet. Plus they sell pretty well, good source of extra income (chicken feed).

really? a good source of extra income? hmmm... you have me interested... i'm listening... go on....

How much would one get for how many?


I know about a place or two that I could supply to if they'd be interested...perhaps more but I just have never thought about bugs.


very very interesting....
