After trying to suffer through picking out pupua I have gave in and ordered one of these trays! Can’t wait to receive it
That’s the purpose of these trays.. picking out pupae by hand is fun, until one day it isn’t!
@@spacecoastmealworms very true! Can’t wait to get it my farm has grown to big to continue the hand picking 😂😂
I noticed you don't sell mealworms on your website. But you are still raising them . Cool.
No, I sold off all my worms over a year ago. Just focusing on the sifter tray side of the business now..
Can you provide a link to the vibrating device or the name of it and where to purchase?
Very nice demonstrations
Hi do you have any connections with anyone selling these trays in the UK please.
Yes, I have a distributor both in the UK and in Australia. Here is the UK link: www.ebay.co.uk/sch/gpsaca/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=
Can you measure the space in the slots? Good video. I was impressed with the shaker but I think it would be to much $ for my small "farm" I only have 6 chickens to feed lol
I make small sifters for smaller farms like yours ;)
Isn’t that vibrating machine on a tv ad selling as a butt & leg shaper ? 🤣🤣
Yep! You can usually find them cheap on eBay or Craigslist from people thinking they would lose weight with them
@@spacecoastmealworms : That is sooo funny !! The thing we buy that are suppose to be used for one thing, actually are better for another ! Yer method takes soo my stress off the arms !!
What is that device you are using to shake the buckets?
I'm not 100% sure but it looks like it might be the "Pinty Fitness Vibration Platform" www.amazon.com/dp/B01G1CMBPM/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_eu2TCbM96YS3N
Lol... everytime I watch you you have a new gadget.. fun to see.
What do you use to clean everything after you are done sifting.. or do you need to?
Just a light dusting is really all that’s needed.
I plan on using auto sorting, but which sifter size should I use for separating mealworms from frass? Also, is there a way to sift pure frass without baby worms?
Trick is to separate your larger worms and beetles from your babies so you don’t ever have to sift our frass with eggs/babies in it. Babies don’t eat much so they don’t produce much frass. I usually don’t sift until around Week 6+, and by this time the babies are large enough to get caught j in n the sifter.
1/30 mesh is the largest gap size I would use to sift out frass. Some other farmers use 1/40 and even 1/50 to help separate the frass from tiny bran pieces.
The green sorting buckets, where are they sold?

Hi,
How can I get pupae's sifting screen? I need both wood and plastic.
My website, or course! spacecoastmealworms.com
How wides the gap in the sifter
This is a company secret, unfortunately. It has been tested and retested, and then redesigned and tested again to find the best size needed. Giving this info away would be giving my business away!
what size sifter for separating the eggs
I don’t ever sift substrate with eggs in it. I use a pupae sifter to separate them from the worms, then they turn into beetles and lay eggs. The eggs stay in the substrate until they grow into worms. I remove the beetles every 2-3 weeks using a 1/8 mesh sifter found here: tinyurl.com/bucketsifter
What difference is there between plastic and wood?
Great question, Javier! The wood is slightly thicker and a bit more durable, but the acrylic is able to be washed and sanitized. I personally use the wood one, but the acrylic is more popular with my customers.
How often do you sift a tray of mealworms?
It really depends on the temperature outside. When it’s warmer out they pupate faster, so maybe every 7-10 days. Otherwise I sift every other week.
Space Coast Mealworms ok thank you. I have a small system and I plan to get the sifting trays and the acrylic insert you have. I look forward to more of your videos. Thanks.
Why your mealworms look bigger?
Camera adds 5 pounds!

Where do you get this system?
I make them myself! Link is in the notes above www.spacecoastmealworms.com/products/pupae-sifting-tray
I don’t see this for sale on your site - ?
There are two listed in the drop-down menu. Look for “Round” sifter
At spacecoastmealworms.com? Ok - found it...
Drop down menu at top right/catalog = 2 listings - one is for pupae sifting tray (shows only wood squarish ones in pix) - click on that, then Size on next page - at bottom of Size menu is Round trays
👍
Yeah, the round ones are brand new, but just as effective! If you have a lot of worms I recommend the large or extra large size though. The round can only handle so many at a time.
And it shouldn’t be that difficult to find the Round sifters. The Small size (on the main page) is the default size, but if you click it you’ll access the drop down menu. It’s just the way the website is set up, unfortunately..
is there a version of that designed for superworms?
supers don’t pupate unless you manually separate them into small containers, so there’s no need. Unless you want to use this sifter to size out the largest worms..
who else saw the beetles jumping
Me
My washing machine can do that and wash my cloths at the sametime! Saving money is making money
First ONE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
That's ridiculously too much work and too noisy.😂😂😂
