Meal worm Malay

I took some video of my 1 week old Bantams eating meal worms. The little ones went crazy over their treat

I think meal worms are a beetle larva. If you let them grow up they turn into something like that. They've also got kind of a shell and don't have slime.

Mealworms are larva of the mealworm beetle.

Earthworms, red wrigglers, and other types of garden worms are in their adult form.

I can't wait until the d@rned crickets come for my garden this year. I am going to miss seeing as many praying mantis, though. They loved all the crickets in my garden.

They are found in and feed on grains, like wheat.

Meal worms are also easy to raise, all you need to do is put some oatmeal in a coffee can and throw some meal worms and put the lid back on with a couple of small holes in it
