Hi.
I've been raising mealies for a few months now, and have several 'generations'. I was starting to do another beetle cleaning this morning, and I've realized its quite the chore.
When I clean the beetles out, it takes forever to get all the live ones. Then the dead ones are very hard to get out
What does everyone do to get all the beetles out? What do you all do with the dead beetles/eggs?
Any help or advice with the beetles-eggs stage of breeding would help me out alot. Thanks
Michael
I use a sand sifter that kids use at the beach. It came with a plastic shovel and bucket at the Dollar Store for..guess how much.
wow, i feel dumb now. I have a sifter for the mealies... just never thought about using it for beetles. Obviously the live ones will latch on, the dead ones get stuck... wow its so simple...
Its times like these I wish there was a delete button to get rid of the thread. 
Thanks!
Michael
