During one of my orders of waxworms quite a few turned into pupae before I could feed them off (they are a light brown color, not black). I mixed up some wheat bran and organic honey and put it inside a canning jar with a paper towel for a lid. this went into the top of a closet which gets quite...

I don't like to order crickets from the West Coast, I have not had a very positive experience as USPS is way too slow. I was ordering from Ovipost and the crickets were shipping from FL but I received an email that they are closing. Any other good East US suppliers?

For the first time in a long time I decided to breed some silkworms again. The moths are kind of interesting to me. Curious to know if anyone knows if refrigerating them improves the hatch rate or not. I could use them now or the spring trying to decide what to do with the eggs once I make sure...

I used acculink in the past and it worked well well for monitoring my temperature and getting alerts if out of range. It does not seem like they are in business anymore. Does anyone have a recommended system that's given them good results?

Kritters for Christ seems to have a decent deal of adult Orange Heads so I picked up 24 females and several males. I have not tried these before but I saw some references stating they breed slightly faster than dubia and since my poor dubia colony cannot keep up I figured I'd give these a try as...

I dont know why but I was very excited to find the first little nymph today.

So I recently bought around 1500 red runners and I am getting ootheca. I do not have a substrate so wondering if I need to move the ootheca onto something moist or is there generally enough humidity in a roach bin to develop? Furthermore, I am curious if anyone has been using them for a year...
