container size?

[ordinaryoddity]

hey guys, i was just curious about something...

do you think it stunts mealworms growth if a large quantity are in a small container?

ive probably got about 10k babies in a 6qt rubbermaid shoebox with about an inch of substrate... do you think it needs to be bigger to let them grow or does it not make a difference?


thanks in advance,
andrew

Shouldn’t matter.

I would add more then an inch of substrate. I like to keep my worms spoiled.

ok, cool

thanks

I dont think the size of the container matters as much as how much food is offered. Add more substrate and moisture food. They should grow regardless.

I would have to agree with them.
