I'm looking to breed the worms for some wild lizards that live near me. I'm told not to use giant mealworms for s
Hi!
I intend to breed these worms as a food source for wild lizards (blue-belly) and the birds... and if food becomes extremely difficult, then for myself as well. I've read where it's best to NOT use the giant mealworms for starter stock. Something about some places add chemicals to keep them in the larvae stage. I doubt that would be an issue with you guys.
I have a 10-gallon aquarium with a heater to put several bins in. One for the worms, then the pupa, then the beetles. I think I'm ready for the stock. There are lots of videos on YouTube about breeding them. They all seem alike so I guess it's a pretty straightforward process. I'll be a small operation for a while to see how it goes.
