|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Nov-06 Location: Hunter Valley | | | | I have some in a smallish tub that I bought about a month ago, they dont live in the fridge, they sit on top of my freezer. I think in that time Ive found one dead, the rest are alive and kicking. How long do they take to morph into beetles (and will these beetles take over my house???) Ive seen no signs of morphing, but then I dont know what Im looking for. For feeding my guys get them as a treat, 1 or 2 every few days. They are the only thing that my little one will hunt and eat on his own. Im paranoid about impactions, so they only get a few.

As suggested, pop them in a larger container with no lid (condensation will turn them to smoosh pretty quickly). They will last 5-6 weeks like this. |

Is five mealies per day still too much?  | There an info sheet on mealworm feeding on my website. My general rule is no more than 10% of the diet. |
