im going to make this so easy as i could.
the bigger the better but one this size will work.
you will need whole grain (works best if blend)
when done blending put enough to cover the bottom on all 3 slides
buy from your lfs .i bought $1,50 and got 100 meal worms. inspected them if there some dead or skin take it out and place the m/w in the first slide.
best food to feed them carrots and lettuce.also some apples are good and will turn to
faster.now remove the [FONT=Arial, Tahoma, Verdana] pupae and place them in the 2nd slide.and wait in a week and couple of days they will turn in to beetles.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Tahoma, Verdana] they should look like this not like [/FONT]
if some come out with b/d its better if there put in the grass and let them go (they will not breed as fast or healthy)
now remove the beetles and place in 3rd slide.
they will breed in a couple of weeks.in 3 weeks remove the grain and put it in a container with holes or no top.After removing wait a week and place lettuce and remove it when it starts going bad.you will not be able to see them there so so small.you must remove because the beetles will eat the eggs.
tips;
1.MUST REMOVE THE FOOD BECAUSE IT WILL SMELL OR MAKE MITES(IF YOU GET MITES YOUR HOLE COLONY WILL BE TRASH)
2.dont buy mega meal worms or supper worms
why?they will turn to pupae and then beetles but WILL NOT BREED.
3.the warmer the faster they will breed(if cold they will take twice the time)
and the best tip is:
before you feed them to your fish or any pet feed them first.
***the bad part about feeding fish m/w is the flooding skin or skin on bottom(meal worm skin will not be fully digested ***
if any questions please p.m me
this was my first big thread
hope i help someone
