I
have often been asked how to make a feeder for mealworms and recently
was reminded in an email from one of the regular diary watchers.
I promised to try and have detailed instructions posted by Christmas
2003 so here we are! |

1.)
A piece of wood which should be between 42 and 50cms long. It
should be between 8 and 15mm in thickness and 7 to 10cm wide.
I have used a new piece of wood that I bought especially at Focus DIY which was 2.2 metres and cost about £4.50. It is 70mm by 8mm. From this, I could make 3 or 4 feeders. 2.) An empty, two litre pop bottle. 3.) A tape or ruler. 4.) Some wood glue, nails and a couple of small hooks or eyes complete the materials list. |

This picture shows most of the materials and tools that you may need. |

tools that I used were:-
A
saw for cutting the wood to the correct length. (Tenon or junior hacksaw) |
