The past three weeks have been absolutely nuts for me (I've barely had time to feed my dragon, much less try to take care of the colony I started) and so I haven't opened the bin in a little over two weeks. I finally opened it today to give them some food and water, and I found some tiny black wormy-things. I didn't want to take a closer look. But anyway, the point of this post, I am going to buy some buckets in the next couple days to separate my feeders for the first time (I started the colony back in November) and I would love some encouragement for separating them. The adults still terrify me and when I opened the bin this morning it looked like my first set of nymphs were almost full grown adults. Which also means that there are an unknown number of large creepy roaches crawling around in that bin.
In theory I know that you take one bucket and you drill a bunch of holes in it and then just sort the feeders from the breeders that way, but I'm so scared to actually do it. Aside from touching them (absolutely not) anyone have a way to help me get through this process?
