Well I have two 20 slot clear plastic containers to seperate them. I put the supers in the slots mid march, no food, one per slot. I did use black acrilic non toxic paint to block view of the other worms. I read that they need total seperation so I was hoping the feel of complete solitude would...
You know this is a very good idea actually. Maggots do not/can not carry parasites. Bacteria for sure could not travel with the larva. Could it? If the flies were kept in a clean environment and fed adiquate fly food I'm sure the larva would be totaly usable. The question is do I want to test my...
I was considering this because of the availability not to save a penny. Theres alot of people who set up fly traps or catch them in their houses, etc. The probability of those coming from some trash is very high. Maggots are supposed to be very clean, its their jobs as decomposers. I know in...
Appologies for possible repost, I searched all over.
So my outside trashcan is loaded with house fly maggots. Would it be a good idea to capture and keep them for feeder flies? Once they transform I would feed them fly food for a week or so to clean em out and gutload if possible. I don't see...
Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm defently having about 10% not transform. It's not much of a problem with the mealworms because I have so many, but out of 40 superworms I only have 9 that have fully developed, several didnt develope properly, the rest are still pupa. I have not been feeding them...
So many of my mealworms/superworms (maybe 10%-20%) dont develope fully into the final stage. What happens is they'll have the abdomen of a pupa but the head and legs of the beetle. What gives? Could this be temperature related? Does anybody else experience this in their feeders?
Yeah def going to get the water first next time. I find it funny I looked for over 2 hours then the chicka comes back and finds it chillen in the plant I searched over a dozen times.
Its sunny and 85 so I take the dude and his cage outside to catch some rays as I have been doing. I placed his plant ontop of the cage, he comes out and climbs into it and chills. Well I went inside to get water for the plant come out, hes gone, cant find em. Over two hours I spent tramplen thru...
A vet told me that scientists over there have found chams with webing inbetween their toes. They think it's a new evolutionary trait so that they can glide when pushed out of or fallen from the canopy.
Are panthers known for eating plants? I know vieleds are. I've found my guy biting on a vine but never going after the leaves (fake). The reason being I have a heartleaf philodendron that would look amazing in my cage. I looked it up to find its poisonous. I also found that alot of people still...
