Just wanted to share....

If you have an extra tub and feed mealies, give it a shot.....not hard at all and takes up very little space.

really? you find it easy? i found it a pain in the butt... but now i'm breeding silkies... which is sooo much work so don't listen to me LOL

I thought it was very easy. I just take out any mealies that pupate and put them in a rubbermaid tub with oatmeal and a slice of potato. Let it sit til' you get mealies.

What? No pictures? LOL!! Glad to hear you are having such an easy time breeding those little boogers. I'm sure your girls just love em!

I just have one tub with mealies of all sizes in it. I used to remove the pupae, but I got lazy and I just leave them in there. The beetles are doing fine and there's always baby mealies. Haven't bought any in many months.
