Any ideas on how to fix this problem? I was told that I would have issues with underpopulation but not overpopulation. I'm not sure how many cycles the farm has gone through or for how long I have had my farm. It's been a long time, I know that.
Yep... when this happens, I put an add on Craigslist, and all the finch owners, suggie owners and reptile owners jump on the opportunity for cheap mealies! :)
Catman donates some to local rescues when he isn't eating the excess. ;) Maybe you could do that (donate, not eat!) or maybe some members that live near you would want to purchase some.
Great suggestions Kyro, I forgot about that! Usually I have 10's of thousands left after I give to friends and rescues! (this happens about every 4 months or so).
A guy that is a regular in my local pet store has to sample one from the container before he will buy the whole thing. It is amusing. I think I will do all of these things. I have wayyy too many.
Oh yeah, and I also throw them around the backyard after I left the dogs in. The birdies LOVE them, and the squirrels too! (of course, if you don't want birds and squirrels in your yard, then DON'T do that!) LOL
On a side note, you said you'll do ALL of those things... does that include eating them?? (HeeHee)
valkyriemome: I am actually looking for one to two females at the moment, but the people I have e-mailed seem to not use their e-mail very often.
SariYappa: Well, if I had a yard, I would do this. I love birds and squirrels. I'd feel bad throwing them outside of my apartment onto the concrete.. I sadly get attached to these guys. Stupid me. I don't think I could ever eat a meal-worm... well.. I would have to be VERY hungry. lol.
Scott (who is not here yet but might be at some point), are mealies yummy?
LOL they tastes like string beans,seriously!
Be careful if you offer them to wildlife rehabbers. It only takes 2 or 3 rehabbers to wipe out your supply in like a week. Most of them would go through 2-3 thousand a week easy in the Spring time.
Wow@string beans. I never thought they would taste like that.. and I don't want to figure that out for myself. I'm going to be honest though, I am curious. Hah.
I have an abundance, but only about an extra 2 thousand.
Great suggestions Kyro, I forgot about that! Usually I have 10's of thousands left after I give to friends and rescues! (this happens about every 4 months or so).
I just have a few questions about these meal worms. I recently bought my first 150 meal worms from the pet store. I put them in a thing with some oats and so far they are doing great. I was going to try to start raising them myself but do they turn into bettles before turning into meal worms again.
I have another question also for you guys. My local pet shop wants to buy from me.. and I'm pretty sure I need a license to sell even meal-worms, but I'm not sure. Do I?
