yes, I have read about refrigerating them, but I like my milk & beer COLD, so the 'fridge is out of the question.
no, I'm not buying a wine cooler for some stoopid worms!
My question, that I haven't found the answer to yet, is -
Has anyone tried limiting their light cycle?
I'm still new to this whole taking care of bugs deal.
And if someone had told me two months ago that I would be buying roaches online and spending time each day feeding crickets, various "worms" and roaches, I would have thought them insane.
But, back to topic.
When I get horn worms they are in the cup with the premade food at one end.
Usually a dozen or so in the cup.
They grow faster than I care to feed them all to the new kid.
SO, I'm wondering if cutting the worm's day shorter with fewer daylight hours might slow their growth.
Less light = less eating = less growth??
Has anyone tried this?
Also FYI, if the premade food runs out, horn worms seem quite content eating yellow squash & zucchini.
