Most of them are not moving at all in the soil they are in that came with it. I measured the temp at 62.5 F. Not sure if I should give my beardie a couple or consider this purchase a waste of money. Nothing smells funky they just look dormant. Is it bad if I give him 'dead' larvae?

Just let them warm up a bit. They prefer warmer temps. Once everything gets up to room temperature they should start to wiggle around a bit more.

Yesss they did thankfully! Put the container on top of my enclosure for 10 min, scooped around and then found the holy grail towards the bottom all wiggling around. My beardie ate like 30 lol :)

Just make sure they are eaten slowly enough so they are chewed up fairly well. If not, sometimes they can pass through whole. It's not harmful but defeats the purpose a bit =)

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
