So I bought a couple hundred medium superworms from dubiaroaches.com and been keeping them in a plastic container with a vented hole at room temp. filled with wheat bran and ground up oatmeal. I put a jar lid on top and every days toss in a few carrots or squash. Lately, I've been noticing alot of dried up and dead superworms in the substrate. Are they getting dehydrated or eating each other? Should I ditch thejar lid and put the food directly on top of the wheat bran?

I would try ditching the jar. I found that when I put slices of carrot or some fresh greens on the substrate, they would grab it and pull it down into the substrate to eat and hydrate. You want to check on it to make sure it doesn't get moldy (and replace it if you see signs of this).

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.
