Customer Reviews
I bought the starter kit for mealworms for my beardies and I love this kit! It looks very nice, and it is super easy and fun! I’m a beginner and loving the process!
I am very happy with my meal worm farm purchase! The process is easy and efficient. I Also purchased beetles and meal worms. They came healthy and hungry. It did take a long time to unpack the bugs because they were all over the newspaper, other than that my experience was great and I have already recommended The Bug Factory to several friends with chickens!
