I have a meal worm farm that was doing really well until today. Something is wrong with the beetles, alot of them if not all are on their backs convulsing/twitching and the ones that are walking around are really slow/twitchy. I might have thought it was pesticide related because we just put new food in but the apple came from our tree and the carrots were those prewashed baby carrots you get from the store. Our worm farm is outside, so maybe it got too cold? I dont know, what do you guys think?

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.
