Mini Self-Sifting Mealworm & Feeder Insect Box

Keep your feeder insects fresh, clean, and organized with this compact, dual-chamber rearing container. Sifting through powdery insect droppings (frass) to find clean mealworms is messy and time-consuming. This self-cleaning mini breeding box automates colony hygiene using a two-tier sifting design: active mealworms and darkling beetles stay securely in the upper rearing chamber, while fine waste falls through the bottom filter mesh into a separate collection tray below. Sized for desktop setups and enclosure shelves, it is an essential tool for keepers maintaining fresh live feeders for geckos, dart frogs, jumping spiders, and juvenile lizards.

Key Features

• Self-Sifting Dual Chambers: Integrated coarse bottom filter mesh allows frass and debris to fall through into the lower tray, keeping your live insects clean and dry.
• Quick-Empty Waste Drawer: The bottom collection tray unclips in seconds for mess-free dumping without disturbing resting larvae or adult beetles.
• Maximum Ventilation: Features a durable top mesh screen secured with threaded hardware to promote continuous airflow and prevent moisture buildup or mold.
• Dual Secure Snap-Locks: Heavy-duty side latches secure both the lid and the waste tray firmly, preventing accidental escapes during handling or feeding rounds.
• Compact, Space-Saving Footprint: Measuring just 11 × 7 × 9.5 cm, it fits neatly beside terrariums, on utility shelving, or inside nursery workstations.
• Free Care Starter Kit Included: Ships with a mini cleaning brush, precision feeding tweezers, and a starter pack of wheat bran feed.

Ideal For

• Mealworm Daily Staging: Hold 50 to 100 mealworms ready for feeding rounds without bedding dust scattering into your reptile habitats.
• Darkling Beetle Egg Separation: House breeding darkling beetles on top so laid eggs and frass drop into the lower tray for easy separation.
• Micro-Feeders & Nursery Invertebrates: Ideal staging home for mini mealworms, dermestid clean-up crews, waxworms, or soldier fly larvae.

Husbandry Tip

• Empty the lower collection tray weekly to keep frass dust to a minimum and maintain dry conditions. Place a thin slice of fresh carrot or squash on a bottle cap inside the upper chamber once a week to hydrate your mealworms, removing any uneaten produce within 24 hours to prevent moisture buildup in the bran.
