Well I went and bought the drawers.
![]() Anyway I thought I'd post pics. :3 I might split the middle drawer in half to put baby ones in because there is sooo much room. Oh and if you want an idea of the amount of room I have about 1000 mealies in there. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Nice! You might be getting mold from putting veggies right on the bedding. Try putting some plastic lids in there to set stuff on. The worms will climb in and eat no problem.
I have veggies and wet sponges on plastic lids and have not had an issue at all with mold. (YET!) |

Well, I saw a youtube video and the guy was using lettuce and he says how it doesn't mold it just shrivels up and stuff and he had a piece of it in there. But at the first sign of anything funky I'm defiantly doing that. :3

I just wanted to mention - I also put a bit of paper towel in with the aliens. When they turn into beetles, they latch on to the towel. It makes it much easier to transfer them to the beetle area. Just move the paper towel & gently shake. Better than picking them out one by one.

Thanks I will. I forgot to add some last night someone else mentioned they use it to flip over. Does it have to be big or can I move them close and just lay a small piece over them?

I have the same little container you have for mealies. I have oatmeal and I put some newspaper or paper towel shreds on top then I place some baby carrot or Mini potato as I had the same issues with mold.. I live in a very dry place so I bought some cricket water replacement gel stuff to keep it moist. I put a little chunk in every few days and it doesnt mold.. They seem to like it.. http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.j ... Id=2753961
