ive made a rather grizzly discovery as ive come back home, basically i have a plastic cup full of mealies that had died. Since the beetles started coming there have been a few that have not developed properly so ive had to unfortunatley crush their heads and put them with the dead mealies. But, i came back today, and there are still beetles with crushed heads twitching and moving around!! It really doesnt kill them! ive found numerous in this mealie graveyard, not to mention mealies I THOUGHT were dead which have now developed into beetles in a mass of mealworm corpses. Uhm so yeah, i feel slightly bad atm hehe. but apart from that, cultures going fine, the beetles love the bread ive put in there!
