i have about 500 supers in a rubber maid container with bran and oats mixed in and i have a screen lid and every other day i put a fresh carriot in there and there still dying in big numbers probally like 25 a day i have canged the bran and oats already i dont understand i thought i was doing them right could it possible be a bad supplier i got them from american crix ranch.....anyone got anytips???
Maybe the carrots are not giving them enough hydration???? I have used carrots, but the potatoe and squash (it is everywhere now and cheap) last longer and they love the squash. Try giving them another veggie. I have also used apples. Good luck.
Question: How do you clean the container? I am just about ready to do that...
that seems unusual. i get 500 at a time and split them up into 2 different containers on just oats, i have forgotten to feed them for a week at a time and i still only have one or two dead
i clean it with soap and water and i buy new oats and bran to go in there i never reuse... how do you clean it? and how often do you clean it ? when you use potato do u just give them half and how often do u change the potato?
yea i dont really know either when i do it i seprate the live from dead and then buy new bran and oats and clean the container with soap and water im not sure if thats how people do it or not so i cant tell you thats what u should do hopefully some one knows and will post something on here well thanks for everything though im going to give the potatos a try today
