I am a firm believer in needing to raise my own mealworms as related to the price of dried ones. My husband and I were talking the other day and he informed me he would be using the mealworms when he goes fishing. I decided that I needed to order more mealworms toad to my farm. Exotic Nutrition was having a sale and I purchased 4,000 mealworms for $33.20. They usually sell for over $10.00 for a thousand mealworms. If you order the mealworms, DON'T order the giant ones as are usually sterile.
If you are interested in raising mealworms, now would be a good time to start.
Here are two areas to help start a mealworm farm:
In making my farm I used a ten gallon aquarium. My husband found an aquarium screen on Amazon that I keep on top to keep everyone in the aquarium. I have been keeping the farm covered with a towel as I keep it in my house and I don't want them to get too cold. I will try to add some pictures.
