My mealworm farm has gotten to a point that is is producing loads and loads of baby mealworms.
Something I just recently noticed, is they don't go through the feed nearly as quickly as I thought they were. They just kind of move it around a lot so it looks like there is less, but now there is enough food in my mealworm bucket to last a very very very long time. Also I just finished off my 1st tablespoon of the water crystals I use, the little bag I have is going to last forever. Today I went to look through them to find some mealworms for my ducks, and I believe I got an albino mealworm
Great work! Impressive growth. The "albino" mealworm is a normal one that just shed its exoskeleton. You'll see the exoskeleton "flakes" start to build up in their substrate. They go through the process a number of times so you'll find ones like that at all stages of growth until they pupate.
The substrate with their exoskeletons makes good fertilizer for your garden if you do any gardening. Even better if you keep compost worms you can feed it to them and they'll upgrade it even more.
Keep up the great work!
