Our mealworm farm kits are the fastest way to start building your own mealworm population. Instead of buying large worms and then waiting for them to pupate into beetles, lay eggs, and grow to size, our kits will give you a head start at every stage of their lifecycle.
Our small kit is designed to provide a minimum of 250 worms per month. This is enough to supply a several small reptiles or up to 5 chickens. Increase or decrease the number of beetles to adjust your farm size to your specific needs.
The small kit contains:
20 Breeding Beetles: Our Breeding Beetles are newly moulted so they are just beginning the egg-laying cycle.
500 Large to Extra-Large Mealworms:These worms will be pupating soon. In fact, the stress of the trip may cause some to change.
500 Small to Medium Mealworms:These worms still have some growing up to do. They will ensure that you have a steady flow of larger worms for feeding your animals.
45 g Egg-Infused Bedding/Micro Worms: Use the egg-infused bedding to get a jump start on the mealworm cycle. The specific number of eggs in the bedding is unknown. The bedding also includes tiny micro-sized worms that are a bit older, so there is no gap in your farm.
1 kg Optimal Food and Bedding: Enough bedding is included in the kit to keep your worms happy for at least a month.
All stages will be packaged separately so you can set up your farm as you’d like without additional sorting.
