I was thinking of breeding mealworms for food, I know it sounds really discusting but I think it would be good to do. Does anyone do this or do they have any advise or ideas for me?
Thanks.
I have never done it,but it is quite easy.You need a few beetles,they are darkling beetles BTW adn usually if you leave them,with food and everything,they will just breed themselves.
I have never heard of anyone being able to buy the beetles,but trust me after a few days you will be guaranteed to have some beetles in with your mealies.It always happens when I buy mealworms...I just put the beetles outside.
I keep my mealworms in the fridge...it slows down them metamorphasizing (sp?)...i only end up with the odd beetle...most stay as worms
