how about a couple of pics of how you set it up Gomer

Heres my box stage one.three containers of mix in at a time taking the last one out daily.containers stired once daily.

Tiny magots then placed on top where its warm for a further day.With a fresh mix added.

From top of box to top of seive.for a further day.maggots drop through seive with a little mix.then seive out maggots in clean bran and feed out.




every stage is done once daily.The main problem is flies escaping every time you open the door.As the others told me add some pupa or magots back to the box daily,To ensure a constant suply.
heres a good little link.

Have only started one bank.The ones that eat live food seem to be eating a few,Its hard to say how many as I have been putting in a heap.I will start them all up in a week when I am back.
