If you're getting mealworms, you might as well get chickens as well. Mealworms are also a good way to earn a little cash on the side as people with reptiles, etc. buy them to feed. I just went to the pet store and bought 100 for about $8 and within a few months I had lots. In 6 months I was feeding the hens and selling a bunch of extras to people with turtles, iguanas, etc. Just put the word out on Facebook or whatever ads you have there and they will start calling. Get the kids started in business young.

I have a goldfish and already that is a lot of work to care for. The idea of having chickens and mealworms is nice but I hate the early risers. My son wants more pets but until he is old enough to really help out with them I have to say No. It is now 10:30pm and I am only, finally sitting down to do something for myself. I am very interested in the idea that they can eat polystyrene.

That's a more recent article than what I was going by in 2016 and apparently they really are safe to feed to other animals after consuming polystyrene. I might have to get chickens again.
