Hi guys,
I started my mealworm farm three weeks ago. I bought 500 medium size mealworms and feed them wheat bran and fresh carrots. They have been doing pretty good so far and I've only lost two of them until today. Most of them used to hang out in the center of the bin or where I put carrots. But I realized a few days ago that most of them preferred to stay in the corners and sides of the bin.
This has been going for a few days but they still seem to be happy and healthy. I can basically collect a few pupaes every day and no mealworm is dying. I'm sure there is no mold in wheat bran or carrots. I check them every day and make sure they're dry. There're enough holes in that Sterile bin for ventilation and the bin gives enough space for 500 mealworms. I just wonder why this is happening or if this may lead to some potential problems. Any thoughts? Thank you.
