Phoenix Worms Temp Questions

[Zach7]

Hey I have my phoenix worms container In a cooler with 2 ziplock bags of ice and a cardboard piece on top of that to place the worm container on. It stays at 55 and I pull the worms put and they are very sluggish, is this normal do they have to warm up?

You're keeping them too cold, only a little bit colder than that and they'll actually start dieing.

I killed off a full 100 count container of them by leaving them in my garage area and they got
down to about 45-50 and all died.

You want to keep them at about 60-65 F for maximum time before they start pupating.

I ordered mine from the Phoenix worm store and the direction say that you can just leave them in the container at room temp. from 60-70 degrees and they will keep for weeks. If you want a longer shelf life you can keep them at 50-60 degrees but DO NOT refrigerate.

hope this helps!
