I would love some mealies! Actually, my quail would love some

And to answer the price question, the local 'mom and pop' store here sells them for fishing, $1.50 for 2 dozen large.

Hmmm....not sure about that. I think as long as there is bedding in there they should be fine. And by bedding I mean their bedding, just don't forget to put some holes in their cups!

Might want to do a 'call for pick-up' thing with them, so they don't get stuck in the mailbox. I would also label them as "LIVE MEALWORMS" sometimes labeling things 'live' helps. How much do I owe you for wormies??

I have one of those bins like in your video but it's got my kids toys in it.

All you really need is a small tote or even tupper ware thing..with holes or screen taped to the top...for air. and their bedding..and some carrots to feed them.

its easy..

Can i put them in the fridge with their oatmeal bedding or will it mold? I want to put them in the fridge before i ship them because it puts them in a hibernation state, and i'm hoping they wont eat each other in transit that way...
