Helpful details

Storage basics

Air

Prioritise ventilation

Use breathable tubs or well-vented containers. Avoid sealed boxes once livefood has arrived.

  • Keep dry feeders dry.
  • Remove condensation where it appears.
Feed

Offer the right food

Gut-load and hydrate feeders with suitable food for that species, and remove anything that spoils.

  • Use silkworm chow for silkworms.
  • Use safe vegetables or feeder diets where suitable.
Clean

Keep the tub clean

Dead feeders, shed skins, and wet food can reduce the quality of the whole tub.

  • Check daily for spoiled food.
  • Avoid overcrowding when moving to storage.
