Here they are kept in the dining room. On the floor, which works very fine thanks to our floor heating. At first my husband was complaning too, by now everybody is used to it.

Pokka, I prefer organic carrots, cut into hunks. They seem to work best overall. IF you're getting fungus, you need more air flow. I've gotten to where I turn the lids sideways, so there is a decent sized opening. It's not like they can fly out. They can't crawl out if the sides are semi-slick.

To do list:
- collect dehumidifying bags from shoeboxes etc.
- drill holes in sides of drawerbox, to improve airflow
- organise 10.000 mealworms (what wheight would that be, a kilogram?)

Probably 1.5kg I think. I buy 1kg which is approx 6000 mealworms

Each mealworm weighs about 100 to 110 milligrams (avg), so approx 9k-10k per kg without bedding/feed/water.
