*** (( VIDEOS )) BUILDING A MEALWORM FARM and RAISING MEALWORMS! (( VIDEOS )) ***

[mat2dong]

Hi you guys

I made two videos so far on building a mealworm farm and raising mealworms to feed to ether your chickens or your fish in your fish tanks! I am sure I am missing lots of things but I would love your feed back as I keep making video's about this great and easy to raise bugs!

1. Have any of you tried to raise them?
2. Do you have photo's or video's to share with others?

There's really no video needed for that, you just pick them out and feed them to your girls

Okay, now I see what you're getting at I don't really know other than maybe using some sort of sifter. I would personally just scoop out an area I know that they're concentrated oatmeal and all. A good way to get them concentrated in the one area is take the carrot or whatever you're feeding them out of their pin and scoop right there

Where the water is life will be
