  I've been working on raising mealworms for MONTHS and the first round of babies are still not big enough to feed to my lizard. Its been very very slow, and I nearly gave up, but then I managed to find some tiny babies, so I'm hanging in here.

  Found this channel today. Maybe it found me. I am all for alternatives in feeding my livestock and this is very helpful

  I have a neglected colony that I am trying to make more efficient. I give them the thick stems of things like chard or broccoli. They appreciate it more than the chickens so it is a great resource when we arent keeping pigs (who definitely eat the veggie stems!). Thanks for the video.

  Another source of food could be the mash from beer making. So, if you make beer or have a neighbor who does that could help. But I totally bow to Angela's expertise in this area.

  Angela, this is the first video I’ve watched from you that was not political commentary. I got my sons a lizard and was looking into breeding mealworms as a feeder insect. I was surprised to see you pop up in one of the top results! Thanks for the tips!

  Thank you for this video.  I have been wanting to do this for some time.  I purchase dried meal worms at my local feed store because if I have to herd my chickens for some reason (like bribing them back into the yard or their run), meal worms work best.  All I have to do is shake the bag and the chickens come running!

  I also recommend growing house crickets for variation! They're just as easy and I find them more entertaining. People generally feel less perplexed about them too...

  Do you have a video on raising black soldier flies?
