How often do they need cleaning out? And removing dead moths?

ok, this is simple enough... you dont need to clean out (well ok thats kinda a lie you do need to take out dead moths thats like once)

make sure all the moths are dead before removing any. they live for like 1-2 weeks.some people leave them in cause they say they get eaten by the baby waxies. so its your choice. and obviously clean them out when you want to start breeding them again in the same container.

um just till its either hardened or dried out for a bit... you can put it in straight away just leave it out over night without puting the waxies in (otherwise they will get stuck when it does dry).

ok, update. i have just put my "hatchling" waxies in my leo's viv and after a week the "hatchilngs have quadrupled in size! there about half the length of a full grown mealie now and there are hundreds of them .

at this rate they should be full grown in a couple more weeks, so i advise you to either put them on a mat at 80 -90 C or in a viv or just in a hot place to make them grow faster.
