 Breeding meelies

what i did

set up small containers, i used film containers, fill them with oats or bran. put one worm to each container. over time they will turn into black beetles about 37cm, some will die so do quiet afew of them i don’t have much luck with it. put them together in like a boxs or a bucket with a lid, put some sawdust in it. add some thing for them to leave their eggs on, ie a twig. the beetles and the larva can be fed vegies fruits oats and bran.

this is good for waxworms, super worms, giant mealworms, mealworms, i haven’t really done butterworms but i think i heard it was the same.
