OK,
So I've decided to start up my mealworm colonies again.........
I was just wondering how everyone else does it??????
I want to use bran, but it's so annoying getting them out of the substrate!
I want to be able to sift them out quickly, not pick through bedding!!!!!! 
Any tips or tricks??
THANKS!!!!!!!!
get some aluminum or fiberglass screen and a small would frame (a foot square is big enough). Use a hand or clean dustpan to scoop out a mass of worms/bran, drop it on the screen and sift (shake) it. This should let most of the bran to fall through but leave the mealworms ontop of the screen.
I can't believe I didn't think of that! DUH!!!!!!! Hahaha!
Thanks so much!!! I'll build one today.
Take care,
J
I use chick layena from the feed store. (Chick mash)
I also had for extra moisture potato slices, lettuce, and tomato.
It works really good.
Also a kitty litter sifter works great for getting them out.
