Fantastic video. Taught me a great deal. Actually bought your pupae sifter so thank you. Best tutorial on mealworm raising…bar none.

so do you not feed any food at all for moisture during this process? i hear you mention any of that.

What if your beetles do not lay eggs and it’s been months? Straight from larva to beetle bin and no eggs? Oatmeal substrate and veggies for water

I'm new to this. Just wondering, do you need to put a air hole in the cups?

@spacecoastmealworms 28 күн бұрын

Nope. The goal is to stress them out. If they haven’t turned after 10 days they are too small and need to go back to the bins to grow larger

I've found a great source for finding sieves for mealworms, etc.: Temu! And so much cheaper than elsewhere! They have singles and sets but you have to spend some time to make sure you're getting the mesh sizes you want but worth it! Some sieves sets have the same size meshes, so not much help and a lot of them just don't tell you the size. I found 2 x different larger size green plastic sieves for only AU$3 - $4.00! A, couple of slotted stainless steel sieves that were only around AUS2.00 - AU$3.00. Ea one appeared a little different in mesh size. If one wasn't suitable, I can use the other in the kitchen. Then, 2x stainless steel mesh, one size 40 and the other size 50. Scrub that! I must've missed out on the size 50 (Blast!) and the order is $11.13 over so I'll have to complain about that and see what happens. Though I suppose I can consider that the postage but, it was supposed to be free. They're all from different senders but can be all ordered at once from the cart. I've used Temu only once before. I had to make other purchases as the minimum order for Australians was AU$40. There are other sieve items that are a little more expensive but still very cheap in comparison to other places..

Las zophobas k estan listas para pupar, son las que se te quedan en el carton de huvos enroscadas en forma de c. Y supongo que ya te habrás dado cuenta con el tiempo, pero es bueno que los escarabajos hagan el cambio en los botes y luego los separes, porque sinó van devorar al resto de pupas, yo lo qye hago es agujerear las tapas con un alfiler y me funciona bien😅.

I’ll never use cut oats again! Using latex gloves helped sort through the large uneaten trash. Feed store had a torn bag of wheat bran and I got a 5 gallon pail full. Sorted into more drawers. Lots of pupae about to morph, lots of larvae and beetles so not really a set back. The mealworms are like a compost bin for us.

Great idea. I usually quarter (cut them in hald length wise then cut those halfs into quarters) my organic carrots or when I am peeling carrots, i throw in the peels. Sweet potatoes Inuse the purple ones and slice them in slices and scatter them. I am going to try the spirals next.

Wow, amazing video. Great explanation and love the tour. I started a small colony in a letter page sized storage system with the intention of feeding our 5 chickens... But I think I need a bigger colony because the chickens gobbled them up in 1 go.. It's only about the size of one of your rainbow colored trays. And it took me ages to get full sized worms. 🤣

I did for the first couple years, but the Florida heat pushes temps too high. I then purchased an insulated shed and portable AC unit to help maintain a regular climate. You can see a tour of this shed in one of my videos.

I got about 30 worms for $12.90 2 days ago. I'm doing well with the superworms and crickets so I decided to get worms. Haven't managed to bred anything yet, just pupate supers and make crickets grow.

@hotwheelindeals6805 5 ай бұрын

Just freeze your substrate overnight in a deep freeze and you will never get mites. I use oatmeal in the cardboard tubs. As soon as I get them home I take the plastic lid and paper seal off the tops and set them open in the deep freeze until the next day. I have never had mites in my mealworm tubs in 10 years of raising them. Heat doesn't always kill them off, but freezing is guaranteed.

If you watch the video you’ll hear that I freeze mine as well. The one time I didn’t is the time I got these mites

what size are the slits, did you experiment with bigger or smaller before you settled on this one

@spacecoastmealworms 5 ай бұрын

I went through several interactions before I found the ‘perfect’ slot size. Then I sent a few similar tray sizes out to other farmers across the country so they could provide input about their preferred size. Turns out they all pretty much agreed on the same size I got, which tells me there’s a ‘standard’ size. This size, unfortunately, is proprietary for obvious reasons.

Why is the ramp so big? Surely shorter ramps are sufficient (dead worms tend not to climb). Then you could have a ramp at both ends. (or all four sides?) Anything that allows a sufficient space to dump the volume of beetles (dead and alive) should suffice (I do apprecaiate that this design allows more volume and I don't know the practicalities)

When you sift out the beetles from the bin with the eggs on the bottom. I'm curious why you put the beetles back on that bin? And at what point (time frame) do you remove the beetles permanently from that bin. Wouldn't the beeltes snack on the eggs eventually? I thought once you sift out beetles you move them to a new bin and let the old bin hatch. Thanks so much, very informative video.

@spacecoastmealworms 6 ай бұрын

Those eggs will eventually hatch and the babies will join the eggs when you sift the beetles a couple weeks later. You could try to scrape the eggs off the bottom, but you’d risk killing them in the process.

Wheat bran best substrate?

@spacecoastmealworms 6 ай бұрын

It's the most popular, mainly because you can buy in bulk at local Feed Stores, and because it sifts easily (especially compared to oats or larger grains). There is research that suggests that a variety of grains is 'best' in terms of nutrition. Spent brewer's grains, chick starter, dog food, plain Cheerios.. these are all alternatives that others use.
