MAINTAINING LIVE FOOD

 

Can insects be kept in boxes they were shipped in?
Insects can be kept in the boxes they were shipped in, although if you ordered crickets, it is recommended you move them to a larger plastic container, in that way cannibalism is going to be avoided.

 

Can I keep the box in a fridge?
Under no circumstances should you put the box with insects inside refrigerator. All insect species are from warm climates and extremely intolerable to cold. Even a short term exposure to cold can result in death. It would be best to keep your box with insects at room temperature (21-26C ~ 70-79F).

 

Should I add any food to the box with insects?
After 4-5 days pass, it is recommended to add small amount of food to provide insects moisture – apples, carrots, potatoes or some other fruit or vegetable. You can replace the dried up pieces of veggies with new ones every 3-4 days. Common household items which can be used as dry food are wheat bran, wheat flour, bread crumbs, corn flour, graded Plazma cookies (or any other dietary wheat-based cookies).

 

I noticed a condensation buildup inside the box, is that a problem?
Condensation inside the box is a sign of high moisture, which is due to adding too much fruits or vegetables in the box. Prolonged increase of moisture can lead to building of mold, which can cause serious health issues to your pet, especially arachnids.
If the mold starts building up, the best solution is to cleaning the box thoroughly and replace the food. After you have cleaned everything, keep moisture lower by adding greens less often.
