    Default Re: Meal worms?

    Here you go:

    WAXworm culture medium > for waxmoths

    1)Warm honey in a heated sauce pan. Add enough bran to make it stiff- but NOT gooey.

    2) Spread it on a cookie sheet till it cools.

    3)Crumble it up and place on the bottom of your container. Freeze any extra for later use

    culture medium depth 1-1/2 " ---- in a STURDY container w/ several very tiny air holes
    ie 3-4 cup Glad container - (the ones with the red or blue lids that screw on )
    You can crumble/ make tight balls / of wax paper --- throw that in on top of the food/medium.

    BTW - Breeding temps should be kept in the low 80s.....warm ...so you will want to think about the cooler months. Yuck --- I hate to think about those cooler months

    **************
    this has turned into a thread about waxworm moths ! not meal worms

    thequeenoftimeandspace, I hope you don't feel like we hijacked your thread.
    I hope all of your questions were answered regarding feeding the worms or waxworm
    caterpillars , they are really fattening and increase the risk of bowel obstructions
