The Mealworm Growing Pods

This is going to be perfect solution to help bring the cost of keeping my chickens down, I've been wanting to grow and harvest my own mealworms for my flock for a long while but couldn't find anything that was practical and pretty that I could keep on my side, this is exactly what I've been looking for, love the fact it has carbon filters and is made from recycled plastics, it's well made and user friendly, Mrs nezbit in my picture approved currently having a heavy moult so the extra protein from the mealworms is much needed and the rest of the flock I'm sure will approve of the more consistent supply of mealworms to scratch around for and keep them busy in yet another cold and long chooken lockdown

I recently received my mealworm growing pods and I absolutely love them! The pods are very functional and easy to use. I especially appreciate the high-quality plastic material that is 100% recycled! Very durable and easy to clean. The pods are also very easy to maintain, which is an added bonus. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend these mealworm growing pods to anyone interested in growing their own mealworms. My lizards are loving the live mealworms!

I bought this as I spend far too much money on insects (feeders!) for my reptiles and wild birds. Having the ability to harvest my own Mealworms will cut my monthly mealworm expenses down dramatically. I love the idea that all I have to do now is throw in some of my suitable fruit/veg scraps, rotate a few trays, and enjoy the worm harvest! 5 starts. Would highly recommend!

The parts were easy to identify and the purpose became clear during setup. No specialized tools were needed to get the system ready. One point came off for starter insects needing to be purchased separately.

A quick glance now shows where the colony needs moisture or additional feed.

After moving the insects temporarily, the smooth surfaces wiped down without much effort. Everything dried quickly before fresh bedding was added. The household response remained positive.

Loose tubs and lids have been replaced by a more intentional arrangement. The colony area looks cleaner and takes less time to maintain. Farming kit would be stronger without starter insects needing to be purchased separately.

Adding this mealworm storage tray created breathing room as the colony grew. The purchase made sense after seeing it in use.

Three stacked trays take up far less space than our old assortment of containers. Lids fit well, airflow is easy to manage, and the beetle inlay simplifies sorting the colony.

After months of raising mealworms in mismatched containers, switching to this kit freed up space and simplified maintenance. Assembly was quick, the lids fit securely, and the product description clearly noted that starter insects must be purchased separately.

The three trays stack neatly in a corner of the utility room and keep each stage of the colony organized. Carbon filters are a thoughtful addition, and the beetle inlay is much easier to manage than a homemade setup.

Great product

Better than my shoebox tote setup. Easy to set up and get going. Pods arrived in time to get them set up for the bugs arriving the next day (all alive and thriving!). After a week the beetles began expiring, I would separate the dead from the living next too the chick brooder. They would watch in absolute silence waiting for me to toss in the dead and a few worms adding to the entertainment.

I use a 3 drawer method so I wanted to do a comparison between this and my drawer system. While this is more pleasing to look at there are some pros and cons, Cons: I saw a higher die off rate with the beetles, hard to tell when the eggs will hatch or when to switch to a new level, have no idea what the carbon filter really does, less space than the drawer method and more expensive than drawers. Pros: nice to look at, I like the beetle/pupae tray for placing pupae, space saving compared to drawers, no odor (carbon filters don't seem to make a difference in odor), an easy way to start if you want to raise mealworms. The plastic is sturdy and easy to clean. Ventilation is good.

I have five bearded dragons, two crested geckos, one leopard gecko, and a tarantula. With the amount of mouths to feed. Having mealworms is essential to me and I’m really excited to start this along with my dubia roach colony to help me save money and grow my own mealworms and Dubias! They are easy to clean, works wonders, and doesn’t smell! Easy on the eyes and just overall happy with this!

The Bug Factory’s grow pods are revolutionary for the world of mealworm breeding. With the sleek, clean design, the tray for the eggs to fall into and hatch, and the filters to prevent any smells, I am loving my mealworm pods! So are my animals who are getting homegrown, nutritious mealworms!

The Bug Factory’s Mealworm Growing Pods are amazing for breeding mealworms for my reptiles and is super low-maintenance for me. I’m super busy with my six reptiles and being able to just throw some leftover veggies in the pod to let them do their thing is so helpful for me. Amazing product!

Simply a must-have for anyone who spends far too much money on feeders! Having the ability to harvest my own mealworms has cut my monthly mealworm expenses down from $30 to zero. All I have to do now is throw in some of my suitable saws scraps, rotate a few trays, and enjoy the worm harvest! 10/10 would recommend!

It's a little addictive to check up on the meal worms and search for pupa! To be able to 'grow' my own meal worm supply, sustainably and in a way I know exactly where my hens treats have come from is really pleasing!

Very clean practical way to cultivate micro mealworms for a small aviary of finches — would have given 5 stars but somehow some mealworms have figured out how to jump green container … baffling..

I am so excited to start my mealworm farm project! I plan to feed my critters fresh mealworms as well as provide backyard birds fresh treats!
I'm also planning on exploring mealworms as protein supplements for myself by making "flour" and other mealworm snacks!
Easy to set up and sleek designs. the carbon filters help cut down any smell. I haven't noticed any yet however.
Can't wait to show my friends and get them on the mealworm train :)

Amazing concept utilizing recycled materials. It’s compact and simple, easy to store and not an eye sore. A bit on the pricier side, but it’ll make its profits back, I’m sure!

Das breeding kit ist einfach im Gebrauch, gut in der Grösse für meine Hobbyzucht, hygienisch, sauber, unkompliziert. Ich kann es nur empfehlen.
Es gefällt mir auch, dass der Plastik recycelt ist.
Wie sieht es aus mit Mikroplastik, wenn die Mehlwürmer für den menschlichen Verzehr gebraucht werden?
