Thought I'd be feeding a lot of meal worms to my turtle but turns out it's not a major part of his best diet and it's not worth the effort.

I got this started with just some random meal worms from the pet store, but now it's got a ton of worms and beetles rolling around--they never stop reproducing.

I don't need them and it's gross to look at! Maybe somebody else wants this? If nothing else, it's a free 5g tank with a screen top, and, uh, some oatmeal.

Come, take it off my hands for free and save me figuring out how to throw it out!

You'll get a 5g tank with about 1'' of oatmeal in it, crawling with worms and beetles, the screen top for aforementioned tank, and the one or two extra bags of oatmeal I got when I started the project. I've literally had nothing to maintain with these guys, just being next to my sump seems to provide them enough moisture.
 
Damn, sorry yo. Didn't think of it when you were there. Clearly not worth driving out for, haha.

Anyway, bump, free meal worm colony that will produce for quite some time with basically no maintenance, as far as I can tell.

Somebody take this creepy box out of my apartment! I'm just waiting for some girl I bring home to find it and run screaming, haha.
 
or apparently when I was there.. lol
I'll take it if you can make it to the show sunday ?

I wish I could! Unfortunately half my company is in LA and I have to remain in NYC in case the world blows up and I'm forced to respond. Just bad timing this weekend.
 
Ok this is interesting - I MIGHT be able to get away with this since the wife is out of town - I might go to the Bronx on Saturday and I could try to either feed them to my cichlids or use them for fishing. Where in NYC are you ?

This is a lot of bugs for just one feed. I'm on the lower east side.
