Live Mealworms Anyone?

[screager312]

By the end of the week I am looking at having around 20k mealworms. Locally they are selling $ 40 for 2000. I will be interested in selling a few. We can figure out a price per 100, 500, 1000 etc plus shipping. I do have papal. I need to research how to ship them but I am willing if anyone is interested.

These are LIVE mealworms, not dried.

When you find out, let me know how much you charge to purchase and ship 1000. I need to branch out and include them in my menagerie.

I'd probably be interested in one of the smaller amounts. Will wait to see the price list.
How long do they last in the fridge?

Shipping might be a problem, if anyone bought some that was shipped please tell me what they arrived in.

As far as costs, tell me what you have paid, or seen what others are charging. I will research costs as well. Shipping will, have to, be priority mail for sure, I dont know if I will be able to put them in a flat rate box without them dying.

They shipped my red wigglers in a muslin bag with moist bedding.

I don't know how much they cost because I don't go to the pet store and our Walmart never has them.
