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

Excellent news.

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

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

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.
