Assuming you buy maggots from Pam...

1. Do you use a large enough bin so your maggots are not on top of one another?

2. Do you leave the saw dust in with them, or do you separate them from the saw dust?

3.Do you add more saw dust or some sort of substrate?

4. Do you put them in the fridge for a few days before letting them pupate?

5. Do you feed them anything when they first arrive?

6. What temperature do you leave them in?

7. Do you keep them in a room with no humidity? My chameleon/Mantid room is very humid, maybe that was the problem? The room is normally between 40-65 % humidity.

8. Do you keep them in the dark, or keep them in a light room 24/7 or regular day time/ night time light hours?

9. Do you keep the bin's lid off all the way to give them fresh air with good ventilation?

10. How the heck do you separate the dead maggots from the pupae?!?!?!?!?! LOL

Thank you so any person who could answer these, happy holidays to all!!!! :)
