Hello! I have a few question regarding how everyone does their set up for their caterpillars. I am currently in the stages of getting my moths to lay eggs. However I am coming across an issue making the feed cups for when the eggs mature into the caterpillars. If anyone has any ideas on how exactly to affix the gutter guard into the plastic cups for the food. Any help would be amazing, thank you guys so much. :D

The ones that are shipped to me usually have the plastic ladders stapled to the bottom of the cup, then the food is poured in over that and left to set. Once set, the cup gets filled with the hornworms then inverted with the holes punched in the lid for ventilation. If you can't staple it, perhaps you could punch a couple of small holes and feed thin twine through and use that to tie down the plastic ladder. When the food is set, it should keep it all in place too.

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

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
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.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
