where to store butterworms?

[burnedrose]

I just got my shipment of butterworms today from Mulberry Farms. They look awesome and were promptly stuck in the fridge.

However, i got home with a gigantic note next the butterworms that said "not human food." Add about a dozen more expletives and you can comprehend how irritated my roommate was to open the fridge and find chameleon food tucked away. I've stored worms in there without a problem before, but they are usually in white containers that are clearly labeled - not small clear plastic ones. lol. oh well!

anyway, is there somewhere else I can store my butterworms? Or should I just do the passive aggressive thing and stick them in with a note saying "it says BUTTER worms. Try them on toast!"

A dozen. not too many, because I wasn't sure if Kukui would like them or not. He doesn't like them as much as silk worms or horn worms, but he did eat the one I gave him this morning after a bit of hesitation.

You can keep them at room temp just fine. They will be fed off soon enough, they are just more active at room temp and spin more silk.
