Hi, we have a method for mealies that does work, takes a long while but u dont have to do much...
We put a few sheets of paper towel in, on top of the food/poo/mealies, sort of fold them and put one end inside the fold of another if that makes sense. Put some carrot or something moist in the middle of the paper and on top, leave it a few hours and a lot of them will have wandered in amongst the paper. Then lift up the paper and brush the mealies off into the new container.
Obviously doesnt sort it all in one go, but you get there in the end....!

I was generally wondering the same thing because my experience of feeding reps has been crickets so far. When a tub arrives, does everyone hand pick them out of the tub? I don't want to just tip some out and into a food dish (or another tub for dusting) because it would also tip out the substrate and shed/dead mealies etc.

Is picking them out the easiest way?

I also ordered mini mealies because my beardie is only a baby but looking at the tiny things I think I better order normal ones. There's nothing to them!!! What eats the minis?
