    Whew! I shipped out 16 boxes of worms yesterday and 6 more today. I am slowly catching up on all the orders. Thank you, everyone. It takes a lot of time to harvest and measure out the mealies when you have millions upon millions to go through.

    Thank you, everyone for all your orders but please be patient with me as I try to fill them all. I send out thousands upon thousands of meal worms each week as my reputation has built up over the years. However, please do not PM or email to ask me questions unless you have purchased from me. I...

    Hi everyone! Thank you all for the orders of meal worms. I am trying to keep up as fast as I can. They are growing and developing faster in the warm spring air, as we open our windows and let the warm fresh air in after dealing with cold wet winter air. We raise our meal worms in our home so we...

    They are just immature beetles. Give them a week and they will look like the rest.

    I keep my humidity in my big bator around 45% and have put meal worms, pupae and beetles in there with good results. I put a small piece of apple in the bin to lure up mealies. but only after a week of not offering anything.

    Grace11, I think you are better off! I can't seem to get enough frass to keep selling. I love SC! We can do so many things that help us sustain ourselves. Frass was used in our veggie garden this past summer and my bell peppers LOVED it. I had huge, lovely peppers for the first time in the 30+...

    I put frass around all my plants with incredible results! I have started bagging it in zip lock bags now and hope to sell it in the spring or use it on more of my plants. It has turned cold here and my rose is still blooming like mad and I definitely do NOT have a green thumb.

    No screens on top of the bins. And the AC running all the time so the windows are not open. There are 4 house cats and 1 dog that will catch anything that moves. If I had rodents I would think I would see droppings. One of the bins that has had no growth is on my bathroom wire shelf in my...

    Well, yes, kinda. They have really long legs and a body! LOL I can't say they are exact though. I can't see their little bodies that well. There are usually about 2 to 3 spiders in my bins and we kill them but a few days later there are more! I am so tired of them. They remind me of the spiders...

    Okay, been away for a while. Busy, busy for the summer. I was wondering...does anyone know....do spiders really like meal worm eggs or newborns? We had 4 trays of wheat bran that we had taken beetles out of and set them on the top self of our meal worm stack. They have dates on them so we...

    Just a heads up to anyone looking to buy from Grubco. I had a customer purchase some from me recently and in speaking with them about the order and the total cost they informed me that they had purchased some from Grubco and it said at the end of the purchase page that it was a mere $58. They...

    I put mine in my incubator in the winter or rather, some of them. Not everything will fit with what i raise here. But some can go in the bathroom on the closet shelves and the door stays open about 1/4 of the way for humidity from showers and heat from that vent. I have just started on bin on...
