Meal worm breeding?

[Tree frog maniac]

Tips on breeding meal worms I hear that there extremely easy and there cheap so I'm. Thinking if I can breed meal worms than I'm going to switch over from crickets to meal worms...

They make a very poor staple food, low nutrition, hard to dust with supplements, and the hard exoskeleton isn't the greatest. But they're so easy to breed that I keep a colony on hand as a bit of variety thrown in every now and then.

I use a shoe box sized rubber maid container with ventilation holes in the lid covered with screen mesh. An inch or two of oats, wheat germ, and bran that were whizzed up in the food processor for food and substrate. Add in a fresh veggie scrap (kale, carrot, zucchini, potato, etc) as needed for a source of moisture. Add mealworms and let them do their own thing.

There are more efficient ways where you sort the larva, pupa, and adults into different containers, but I don't take many out for feeders so this works for me.
