Gelbel Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Breed them? I have to wear gloves to handle the dried ones. Not an answer to your question I'm afraid. Much more helpful people will be along soon I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillybettybabs Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I buy them live and put them in a container with bran or oats and some small slices of apple, I store them and a cool place, When they are nice and fat my girls have a lovely juicy treat.

figarogir1 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I did try breeding them last year but it is a very slow process and did get a bit smelly I thought it might save some money and give the kids some science but in the end -after a couple of months - we gave up. It isn't difficult just very slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollie333 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I've thought about it.. The amount of them my girls get through it costs me a fourtune! But lately i have been giving my eggs to a friend, she buys the girls a 500g bucket of mealworms, which is kind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
