Mealworm metamorphasis?

[yoshimi]

Yes they can borrow. I use this dish to keep them in. Toadies are fine with it, they sit right inside and eat them.

Those dishes are cheap and so useful. You can check ebay and maybe get it for a bit less. Talking $2 free shipping. Not sure what pet stores are charging. I don't have a FBT, but my girl does the sitting in bowl and snacking too, tho once she notices them, she usually downs the bunch at once. I try not to give her too many at a time. They do take reptivite and caclium supplements fairly well.

My mealworm culture started the exact same way, seeing those shrimplike things and going from there. you might see the new baby mealworms sooner now that temps are warmer. before that, give them a dark place, (i covered 3/4 of bin with paper), and they'll be crawling all over each other like crazy. i was shocked at how many i got from what i didn't consider a lot of beetles. thousands from maybe 30 or 40. careful not to spill their container, my fear was dropping it and having eggs everywhere, then little worms everywhere. never happened, and now i think the eggs when not laid on old food (they do that) might be sort of glued to wherever they laid them (usually on the bottom of bin). I dumped my beetles out in the yard once i had the mealworms I needed and it took forever to wash and scrape off what was left on the bottom, even after being left in the rain, and i think it might have been egg casings.
