It's pretty easy, but takes a little time to ramp up.They pretty much raise themselves, I'm sure you can search for a site that explains it, but basically you need a tray, box, something about 6" high, put 4" or so of some kind of ground grain, dump your brood stock, (leftovers) and cover the grain with sliced potatoes for moisture, change potato slices once in a while and thats about it.... The mealworms will form pupae and change to beetles which mate, lay eggs, thus new mealworms, lol

A lottz a work for 50 waxies It is. I raised them for a few years and came up with more than I could use. Eventually found out it was easier to buy them 250 in a box at a bait shop than all the hassle of raising them.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
