Bought a tub of medium worms today, this my first ever.
I've bought them to suppliment Lizzy the house skink's diet and to offer to her as treats and to make sure she doesn't go hungry if she can't find any cockroachs under the house furniture.
Separated them from the crumbly stuff they were in to count them, 200 +/- a few in a 50g tub. Will last Lizzy many weeks, probably a few months I think.
Split them into 2 lots, one lot to keep in the pantry in a bottle with 1/2 the crumbly stuff and one lot into the fridge in the remaining crumbly stuff for longer term storage.
My plan is to offer Lizzy no more 3 or 4 worms at a time and not every day, maybe 2 times a week in the cool months to make sure she doesn't starve, maybe 3 times a week in summer along with little bits of people food (diced chicken, lamb, fish, turkey, peas, grapes etc - all the things I know she likes) as treats two or 3 times a week.
She hunts down and catches her own food in the main.
IN STORAGE :
How long will the medium meal worms ones at room temp last ?
How long will the ones in the refrigerator last ?
