Who here is raising meal worms?
29 meal worms
1 pupa

for $35 a kilo its easier for me to buy a few kilos every three months.but i have a neglected colony.

Over here they are expensive. So it is better for us to raise them our self.

I buy wholesale direct from the largest breeder in Aus.And in bulk.

I use the left over from fishing, but just for fun or too sell them.

i get mine for $30 a kilo. last me 2 months and i also breed my own to get smaller ones for the breeding season. i agree with gomer its cheaper to buy them in than breed your own, i dont have much room to do it.....pete

I have two pupa right now!
28 meal worms
2 pupa

if it dont work out back to pisces it will be
