I had some frozen cut carrots and thawed them a bit and put them in with my crix for a bit of variety, unfortunately I just found them still in the jar lid, all covered in blue furry mold! Would they have eaten off of this moldy crud? (They had cotton balls in spring water too). I couldn't tell if they ate any or not. I was going to try to feed Honey-Lime again tonight using these darn crickets... have a couple hundred in there. Will I have to throw out this whole colony...?? I did feed a cricket each to Shirley and Jelly Bean before I found the moldy stuff but I didn't try giving Honey any.
I also had carrot in with my Dubias. Those didn't seem to mold and it looked like there were nibble marks-- unless they ate the mold! @_@ I hope they didn't because I fed five Dubias to Lucy tonight and she gobbled them right up. I dumped the carrots out and put a water jug cap of spring water soaked cotton ball in each of the three containers. Don't know if the Dubia will drink water like that or not, but I didn't want to take a chance with more mushy moldy carrots, bleh.
(The crickets and Dubia also had dry chow available).
