You need 3 tupperware containers
bran or wheat germ
apple slices or potato
burlap
First get a tupperware container(not to big not to small)
then put a thin layer of bran or wheat germ(bran is better in my opinion)
Then put in about 3 apple slices and put in 25-30 mealworms. Then a thin sheet of burlap. Thenn keep doing these layers and adding mealworms till you are about 1-2 inchs from the top. Shut this one poke small nail holes in the top and leave it on the counter. And make sure to change the apple everyday or every 2-3 days. Then do this in each box and soon they will turn into beatles mate lay eggs(then die(they die after mating)). Then I would say in about 3-5 weeks you SHOULD have mealworms. Good luck,
Elsa
