[QUOTE="Acro, post: 344232, member: 1617"] From what I've read, yes, they can. (see links below) And I've started raising some with only styrofoam . . . and they are still alive. I just mist with water every now and then. I think the beetles need other foods though, but I'm not totally sure yet. From what I've read, they pass any chemicals within 48 hours, and are then healthy to use as feeders. Check out the links below! :D [URL="https://news.stanford.edu/pr/2015/pr-worms-digest-plastics-092915.html"]https://news.stanford.edu/pr/2015/pr-worms-digest-plastics-092915.html[/URL] [URL="https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-12/su-msc121819.php"]https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-12/su-msc121819.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
