Nice! What are they in(the setup)? Looks like some drawers. I've bred both before, will have to take pics when I get my setup ready. Hoping to make some profit on breeding then selling them.

Those are great videos, very good job. Where did you get that plastic drawer system? It looks very convenient.

Thanks guys. I picked up that drawer system at Sams Club, a warehouse club. Believe it or not, it was only like $25. I saw the same thing at Joann Fabrics and it was $80. I've been thinking about getting another. Here's a link to it on the website for the warehouse club, I didn't pay that much though....

How frequent you change the beetles to a new bedding?

[jfreels]

Now I am doing it every two weeks. I use to change the bedding when I'd see the first molts on top of the bedding. The reason I'm going to do it bi-monthly now is because I want to try and keep the size constant in each of the drawers. In about a month, my small-medium drawer will be able to be combined with my large drawers (if it still exists). By my count last night, I only have about 3k mealworms in my large drawer.

I wouldn't care much about separating them out so often if I didn't sell/give some away to friends. Most of them only want large. I'll hopefully have a need for smalls *crosses fingers* so I'll have to be able to seperate them out easily.
