mealworm containers

[karls-geckos]

ive started a mealworm breeding project and need to get some containers ordered before i start selling them, what kind of mealworm containers do you guys receive when you order mealies? how are they boxed? thanks

When I was ordering mealworms (now I breed them) I would get them in cloth bags with crumpled newspaper inside for the mealies to climb on.

Got them like that, and I got them in crickets boxes, with eggs flats once or twice as well.

I usually get my mealworms in small plastic tubs filled with a sawdust material. I've also heard that you can safely package them in oats.

Although I only order in small portions compared to most other owners here

wheres a cheap place to geth those cloth bags?...thanks

sorry not trying to steal ur thread..i think they are cloth

Cloth sacks with crumpled newspaper is how we would get them before breeding our own. You can try going to Wal-Mart and buying the fabric by the yard and sewing your own very cheap! Assuming you or someone you know has a sewing machine...

Mine also came in a cloth bag with news paper. The cloth is like a small squared mesh cloth. Holes are probably bigger than cheese cloth. I would assume that this is for ventilation. The bag came in a box probably 8"x8"x8' for 1000 mealworms.
