Default Sounds Silly - Remove Morio Worms from oats

OK so my first real attempt at breeding Morios has been successful.

I have a large plastic tub with loads of oats in (was the substrate the eggs were laid in)

It is teaming with tiny morios now.

Is there an easy way to split them from the oats? Be nice to have just the morios in with food.

Probably couldnt sieve them in some way?

Cheers

Gary

could you put the container they are in now inside a bigger container and have the smaller one angled up on one edge so the baby morios can climb out like a little wriggly waterfall? (sorry couldn't think how else to describe what i mean) i do it with waxworms in shavings

No they dig downwards.

Its ok, will leave them in there until they are much bigger.

Obviously dont want to feed them off until they are much bigger anyway.

ok so they don't like to be in the light so get a handfull and put it in one side of a rub or similar and make some shade with a bit of sacking or even some paper scrunched up a bit, leave it in bright light and watch those little buggers take cover lol
