BugFactory 3-Tiered Mealworm Growing Pods – Sustainable Live Feeder Kit

Take full control of your reptile’s nutrition with the BugFactory 3-Tiered Mealworm Growing Pods. At Rachel's Reptile Resource, we know that true husbandry excellence begins with what you feed your animals. Instead of relying on dehydrated, transit-stressed store feeders, this stackable indoor system lets you culture a continuous, renewable supply of nutrient-dense mealworms year-round.

Crafted from 100% recycled materials, these modular pods turn everyday vegetable scraps into high-protein live food for geckos, bearded dragons, and other insectivorous companions. With dedicated stackable tiers and an integrated beetle sorting tray, managing each stage of the mealworm life cycle is clean, odor-free, and simple.

Why Keepers Love It:

• Optimal Feeder Nutrition: Feed your colony fresh greens, squash, and carrots so your reptiles receive properly hydrated, gut-loaded insects every feeding day.
• Odor & Moisture Controlled: Includes custom carbon filters to keep indoor spaces fresh and clean.
• Closed-Loop Sustainability: Made from 100% recycled fridge-freezer plastic, reducing household waste while cutting your recurring feeder expenses.
• Simple Life-Cycle Management: The beetle inlay tray automatically separates adult darkling beetles from eggs and larvae to prevent predation and ensure high yields (150g–300g per tray).

What’s Included:

• 3 Stackable Growing Trays
• 3 Secure Ventilation Lids
• 1 Beetle Separation Inlay Tray
• 1 Feeding/Sorting Tweezer
• 3 Replaceable Carbon Filters
• (Note: Live mealworms and bran substrate sold separately to start your colony.)

Care & Setup Guide:

• Bedding: Fill trays with 1–2 inches of organic wheat bran or oat bran substrate.
• Environment: Place pods in a warm room (68°F–80°F / 20°C–27°C) away from direct sunlight.
• Moisture & Food: Provide thin slices of organic carrots, apples, or squash every 2–3 days for hydration, removing uneaten pieces before mold forms.
• Harvest: Collect plump larvae using the included tweezers, dust with your preferred calcium/vitamin supplement, and feed!
