Superworm housing

[kelso]

So if anyone has any tips on how to keep super worms in a tupperware container (with lots of big holes in the lid!) with bran cereal, fruit and veggies and not have it molding within days that would be great.... because I am STUMPED! haha

how big is the container and how many superworms are there?

dont over do it with the fruit/veggies. and dont remove them, until theyre completely dry.

it was the largest tupperware container i had at my house.... there are about 15 supers in there? I probably put too much for fruit and veggies in there...
They don't seem to eat as much as crickets....?

so now that the container with the supers in it went all nasty do I just throw out those feeders? I don't think i should feed them to any of my reptiles should i??

dont waste feeders if they are still alive. Just start over. 15 is not even that much.. I learn not to use fruits because they mold up pretty fast and it gets too messy with the bran in the way. Potatoes and carrots is good to start off with.

Ok i won't use the oranges anymore..
how long should i wait to feed them off?
yeah i bought 25 at the pet store and have fed off probably about 10... more than 5 anyway.
Thanks for the tips guys,
Kelsie

yeah i've tried orange, strawberries, grapes and failed.. you can't leave them in there forever.. so if you do use those fruits... watch over it and remove them before they get bad. try apple slices..

Potatoes and carrots you can leave them in there til they dried up.

gutload them and a day or two is good..
