You're probably right. The container would have to be covered to protect them from sun and rain, and you would have to check it often to ensure the food is moist enough.

I think I'm going to try raising meal worms just for the experience. Not with an automatic feeding box, but the normal way. I'll throw some to the fish 1-2 times a week and get them used to them, then use them for bait.
