    Yeah...if I had to go in there, and separate out everything, I probably wouldn't raise mealworms Lol.But as it stands now, I know, I will never have to do that , because I always have more than enough to fish with.

    yep, only problem is when they turn to beetles . I use nothing but wheat bran and an occasional banana peels . I don't bream fish enough to use this many . Any body in the area is welcome to a box if you pick up . (bring your own box) can use oat meal if you have no wheat bran .

    Have you tried using the pupa for bait,instead of the mealworms ? For some reason, I think they work even better in the area I fish.

    Easy to do . My biggest problem was moisture to begin with . After I stopped trying to water them it was easy . They live in what they eat and change boxes every 3 months or so and put in new food . When you get 50 bugs put them in a new box and start another .

    Can you elaborate,I give mine a light misting of water every couple days, and they love it.They will climb the walls to get the water droplets,even though they always have a fresh supply of baby carrots.
