If you are raising chickens, small reptiles or certain types of carnivorous fish, bugs are a very important part of their diet. One fabulous option is mealworm. Mealworm farmers claim that they are VERY easy to raise. Several say that they are practically maintenance free. Just occasionally clean out their beds, replace the bedding with more food and you could give the waste products to your tomatoes.
Below is an article that I found on the subject. It gives more information on mealworms and how to care for them. Apparently, they can be eaten by pets, but what was surprising was that there are people who consume them as well! I just happen to NOT be one of those people! (Yuk!)
Enjoy!
