Does anyone know what these worms are? It's really difficult to get a good picture if you don't see them moving but it's those hairy ones that almost look like centipedes. My feeding bin is crawling with them after I fed off the crickets and there are only isopods left in there. Or should....
In the summer the bin was outside for some days because it was warmer than inside, so maybe some wild bugs came in during that time.
Do you think I should trash ist?

I have no idea- personally, I’d trash it rather than take the risk

Those are dermestid beetle larva, clean up crew that they put in when they ship feeder insects so they are fine.
You are right, that's what they look like. Strange I didn't notice them when I put everything in, though.
Thank you a lot! :)

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
