mealie bedding

[stewy84]

Just orderd 10 lbs of codes mealie bedding and was wondering how many 16x22 inch tubs that would cover and how well dose the worms sift out? Im hoping that its not as dusty as the home made stuff im using now also. Thanx for your replys in advance

I can't tell you how many tubs. I just put it in and get more when I run out. The worms sift out of that stuff very well. The only problem is with the tiny worms that fall through the holes. It doesn't appear to be super dusty, though if the light is right you can see all the particles blowing through the air. We just got an air cleaner and I wear a surgical mask when sifting because I have developed an allergy to mealworm droppings.

sounds way better than the dusty stuff im useing now, its a cloud of dust and just keeps getting worse. hope i can get 2 tubs worth out of 10 lbs other wise it might get kinda expensive considering what i have now is free and works vary well other than the dust. i have 10 tubs on average through out the year and never have to buy feeders unless i get them a treat. do roaches do good off that stuff? real tempted to start a colony of them even know the wife says no way. thanx for ur reply Aliza
