Hello,
We have been raising mealworms for almost a year now. We use the 3-drawer office supply organizers for ours. We have three units now, and only have four drawers currently in "production". I was sick of having to constantly feed them, so I sifted them back a month or so ago and got down to where we only have the four drawers now. We sell them from time to time to a few different people that feed them to their lizard/geckos but our Syrian hamsters also LOVE them. We got our first few from another chicken breeder up the road and have successfully managed to raise them in bulk now. Many of our cages/pens even have dedicated mealworm feed bowls in them. The chickens seem to be able to pick them out better when they are in light colored bowls/feeders so we try to make sure we give them a helping of mealworms from time to time. We recently expanded in the Syrian hamster department and now that we are up to 6 cages with a hampster in each, the table where we had kept the mealworms was full of aquariums, so we had them in the garage, but it got cold and they were acting sluggish so I brought them back into the mud-room tonight, and hopefully they will warm up and get back to normal, we fed them a bunch of Kale today, and I'm sure by the weekend we will be ready to feed them to the chickens again.
