Someone wanted pictures so here they are. I made this cause I had trouble finding a sifter that worked well for me. And I tried a few
First I use a 3 lbs cottage cheese container from Sam's (just left over from our weekly consumption *free*)
Then I cut a whole in the bottom.
Took a second one and cut a ring.
In between these I put vent screen from Lowe's big roll $15. Probably could figure something else out cheaper but was steel and the right mesh size plus can be changed with patience.
I could have hot glued in but didn't have hot glue at the time and like being able to take apart (just me).
The frass leaves quickly
The longer I let them sit the more crawl out so I can either get a lot by dumping quick but get variety of sizes
Or leave for a few minutes and get mostly larges which I do cause only feeding a small amount each day (though this is a big bowl
