Product Description:
This is a high quality 3 tier mealworm breeding tower, perfect for producing your own feeder insects to save money and breed insects for many different reptiles and invertebrates.
The Insects you produce yourself will be far superior to the insects found in pet shops, small and large, as insects are generally not treated well by the producer or the sellers. No more smelly, half dead, starved/dehydrated insects from pet stores with this kit!
You can produce alot of mealworms and beetles with this kit as it is big enough to hold well over 1000 beetles with out over crowding due to the small size of the beetles. Each female will lay upto 500 eggs over their 8 week lifespan if you have 1,000 female beetles laying say 250 eggs over 8 weeks that is 250,000 eggs!
Kit Design:
This mealworm tower is made from plastic that the insects cannot climb and has 3 tiers.
The top drawer is meshed to sort the worms/eggs from the beetles automatically. This is important as the beetles can eat the eggs. The eggs will fall through the mesh and hatch in the lower drawer allowing you to easily gather mealworms to be fed.
The bottom draw can be used for pupa or rotate the draws and use both as mealworm draws.
The insects will not escape from this farm due the design and the insects inability to climb plastic.
Key Features:
Very little to no smell.
Durable compact design.
Saves money on feeding pets.
Healthy nutritious live food for your pets.
Have easy access to the right size insect’s.
Selectively breed your own mealworms for bigger/smaller worms.
Fun and educational.
Entertainment from observing and feeding the insects.
Self sorting.
Low maintenance.
Directions for use:
Simply put a good layer of Oats (included) with some slices of cucumber/tomato/potato/carrot for moisture into the top trey with meshed bottom and then add the Darkling beetles when they hatch. The eggs laid by the beetles will fall threw the mesh and hatch in the middle trey. Darkling beetles can live for up to 8 weeks and lay 100s of eggs.
Add the mealworms to the middle trey with some oats and slices of cucumber/tomato/potato/carrot for moisture. The mealworms will pupae and hatch into beetles with a week or two. Mealworm eggs will hatch and grow to full size in around 4 weeks if kept at room temperature and given a good diet.
Add the pupa (They look like white aliens) to the bottom bin. Pupa cannot eat or move (apart from wiggle). After about 10 days the pupa will hatch into beetles and can then be transferred to the top trey to begin breeding and laying eggs.
Maintenance:
Cleaning the colony is easy and hassle free just pour the continence of one of the treys into a bag and sieve away the frass. You may also sieve away small mealworms and eggs so I would recommend rotating the 2 bottom trays and sieving every 3 weeks giving time for the eggs to hatch and mealworms to grow big enough not to fall through the sieve.
Or you could sieve the eggs and mealworm hatching with the frass and use another method to separate them.
Beetles, pupa, and mealworms are all safe to handle and consume by pets or even humans!
