  Hi, I haven't noticed in any videos how you add extra water beside veggies. I have been raising meal worms for over 10 years in the 3 stage bins for the hens & it gets hot here in TX (especially this year) I cut up cheap sponges in quarters, soak in water & put them on a little piece of plastic wrap or wax paper (so my bran/oats don't get moldy) the worms & beetles love the extra water & swarm the sponges. Every week I soak again for a minute or squirt a few drops on :)

  Use a mesh strainer from the kitchen section to filter your beetles

  Grind of some egg shells as well and put in with mealworms. Increase calcium which goes back to the chickens eventually

  Thank you for being honest. You&apos;re learning to as we&apos;re going along too. 👍 <br>I grew crickets years ago. They were interesting and within a couple of weeks I had mucho adults. Now I just breed worms.

  Not eggs will fall through.. alot will but not all. &nbsp;You do want to do your own visual in the Top Darkling drawer...and yes you&apos;ll need to manually remove worms that have hatched, down to their respective drawer. &nbsp;It&apos;s part of running a meal worm farm - but still fun.

  My set up is like that and I realised it could drop through mesh when opening top. My mesh is smaller holes. But what I did is directly put the top one with beetles in inside the under drawer. &nbsp;And it still has plenty of room at the bottom. And just keep them on top of my drawers or put them anywhere else in house.

  I found them to be fond of canned dog/cat food (small amounts), but removing leftovers promptly is important. The worms actually swarmed it in a little feeding frenzy.
