DIY SELF SORTING MEALWORM FARM!

[@alexisplourde4645]

What do you do to keep the system going? Once you harvest eating worms from the bottom do you dump out the old Beatles from the top and put the remaining worms to breed the next generation into the top? Also any tips on harvesting?

[@jessmartin5095]

So are you keeping beetles on top of the screen? Then tiny meal worms go to the bottom? When they become pupae do you pick them out by hand?

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Exactly how I do it. So eventually the mealworms who slipped through the bottom will pupae I just lift up the top bin pick those out and bam.

[@vorvolakas]

the big quetion i where the egg goe? did they put the egg from the whole to the buttom?! is egg sticky and stuck to the top? did u test this and can we use it for industrial mealworm farm?

[@reble92jones64]

Great video man your like a life line when it comes to bearded dragon stuff for me🙏🏾 Would you be willing to do a video on wax worms?

[@nathancarr1690]

Mine won't eat waxworms... Our last one did.

[@DeeTone1]

Do the beetles in top portion eventually die out until none are left?

[@endetjes]

Thank you. Very helpful. I was wondering.....do you use a lit on top? Does it have holes in it too?

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Tbh I don’t use a lid top only if I start stacking the enclosures then I use one and make sure the one that’s getting the lid has tons of air holes or else it will mold. But yeah these guys can’t climb out so I don’t use a lid

[@Kessiebear81]

Great video! Just to clarify, you put food in both layers? So the bottom container and the top container with mesh?

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Thank you! Yes on top and in the bottom

[@nathancarr1690]

I read worms turned into beetles faster if they're not fed, (odd I know) also won't the new mealworms below start to eat the pupa and eggs? Do you need a third or fourth section for when they turn pupa and then worms? @@ChiefSweetsUniverse

[@boblemmonz]

Really helpful vid bro

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Appreciate you

[@Romanscii]

What is the specific mesh are you using?

[@Romanscii]

How do you clean it?

[@TheL.G.F.]

What size of mesh do you need? Im assuming if its too small or too large the system wouldnt work?

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Any regular fine mesh window screen works .

[@Double-G6]

Does it smell at all

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

It does not

[@Tinaejs]

I can't seem to get my screen tight enough to keep from sagging in the middle. Any advice? I used a piece of an old window screen.

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Yeah mine sags a little as well. Just try and get it tight as possible.

[@GamingRealmOfTheGods]

Sags due to the weight of the mesh pulling down on it. This is due to us cutting off the bottom so the center squeezes in some to allow the slack on the mesh. others made a wood frame and screwed it to the bottom of the container before putting on mesh.

[@debraleatzaw7745]

What do you feed mealworms?

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Carrots

[@analyticalhabitrails9857]

Another example: potatoes, apples. Vegetables that contain moist. That's how they hydrate.

[@clemyclue5065]

can you do this with superworms as well?

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

Working on that as well

[@_jiimmmy4291]

@@ChiefSweetsUniverse did it work for superworms?

[@miguelmain3521]

Do you need to give the mealworms water?

[@ChiefSweetsUniverse]

No the carrots will hydrate them up

[@belldao4367]
