Rabbit Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I could try, just have to make sure the blasted things don't eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 what containers are you using? ... from memory I used a fine material (like seen on fruitfly cultures) over top ... then wire mesh for older grade? adjust the mix and or air availability ... and or humidity around cultures... fresh air balance is key for most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 They eat their way through almost anything, that is why I gave up on them. You do not want them in your kitchen cupboards---swwbo may get over excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
