lovezebs I guess we'll know in a day or two. I'm watching for that mold...

MisterGribs

Take pictures of what's happening and post pictures on here. Let's try and figure out what's going on, eh?

Here's what I've got so far and where it is. Fresh air and sunlight in a shallow substrate dish that was sterilized.

MisterGribs

How are the seeds coming along?

Have they sprouted yet?

lovezebs they have, actually! Still no mold. I think more fresh air is what they needed1

MisterGribs

Excellent news.

So now you'll be growing your own finch forest for the kids to go roaming through .

They're going to need a little treasure map to get to the mealworm in the middle, .

lovezebs Speaking of mealworms, my colony grows soooo ssslllooowwwwwwlllllyyyy. It seriously takes like 8 months for a worm to go from egg to pupa.

MisterGribs

I haven't done much with my mealworms lately, so not entirely sure where they're at.

With my guys, they have no problem with going from worm, to pupa, to beetle, but after that everything seems to go into slow motion.

I actually have to check the containers today to see whats happening with them.

lovezebs same here, a lot of the ones we buy from the store transform overnight.
