'Simply a must-have for anyone who spends far too much money on feeders! Having the ability to harvest my own mealworms has cut my monthly mealworm expenses down from $30 to zero. All I have to do now is throw in some of my suitable saws scraps, rotate a few trays, and enjoy the worm harvest! 10/10 would recommend!'

'The Bug Factory’s grow pods are revolutionary for the world of mealworm breeding. With the sleek, clean design, the tray for the eggs to fall into and hatch, and the filters to prevent any smells, I am loving my mealworm pods! So are my animals who are getting homegrown, nutritious mealworms!'

'The Bug Factory’s Mealworm Growing Pods are amazing for breeding mealworms for my reptiles and is super low-maintenance for me. I’m super busy with my six reptiles and being able to just throw some leftover veggies in the pod to let them do their thing is so helpful for me. Amazing product!'

'It's a little addictive to check up on the meal worms and search for pupa! To be able to 'grow' my own meal worm supply, sustainably and in a way I know exactly where my hens treats have come from is really pleasing!'
