    An unboxing, review, and full setup of the Mealworm Growing Pod. My first impressions were very positive, I'll continue to post updates with details on my feeding regimen, production rates, etc. I'll include things like what I'm feeding them, how often, and things that may not be working so well.

    I think this product is great! The concept of being able to keep the beetles/pupae in the same container and simply switch that one tray to another container to allow them to lay eggs in numerous empty trays is neat. A similar beetle tray that would fit other containers would be great, too. (like small plastic storage boxes, etc.)

      @@MidwestMealworms The Egyptians were obsessed with the sacred Scarab Beetle. They even mummified them. Thanks for all of your videos! I’m 5mo in with mealies, superworms, both beetles, and crickets. Planning on selling locally because the pet stores suck unless you catch them on the truck day.

    This system is nice and slick but the bins seem of inadequate depth to hold enough substrate for the beetles or mealworms. Maybe for a VERY small farm but just not practical overall.

    • @MidwestMealworms
      @MidwestMealworms  Год назад +1

      They are plenty deep enough, any more height and it would be wasted space. The output from this is meant to be for small use, like a reptile owner. It's great for what it's designed to do.

    About how many square inches, at 3” deep, will it take to support 1k worms? The pod looks small for 1k worms plus more from the beetles…

    • @MidwestMealworms
      @MidwestMealworms  8 месяцев назад +2

      It's definitely big enough for 1000 larger mealworms, it's been a while since I made this video but I think 2000 would fit.

    • @MidwestMealworms
      @MidwestMealworms  9 месяцев назад +3

      For more than one chicken, no. You will need more mealworms than this system will provide. Roughly speaking, one large tray for every chicken you have.

    The pods look great but just went to the web page where they sale them. Too expensive for me I’ll stick with my dollar store containers 😅I just have 1 dragon to feed and wanted to farm some bc it’s becoming winter and it’s hard to find mealworms during winter season bc mealworms r used for bc fishing during the spring season so they start ordering them and I can go to grocery store to get live mealworms very convenient
