I was a little scared the past couple days because I thought I killed all the worms. No worries. Only a couple died (I think).
I was worried that they aren't getting enough moisture though. So I did some more research online and found a site that said its a good idea to put a damp (not wet) paper towel over the top of them. So I am going to try that and see what happens.
One reason I thought they were all dead was because they are not really moving. But online it said that during the pupa stage they are dormant because they are going through metamorphosis. So maybe they are just in that stage.
Most of them are still brown though. Which is still the larva stage. So I am a little confused at what stage they are actually at. I'll give it a couple more days and do some more research and see what I find out.
They have also been shedding their skin a lot. So that has been cleaned out of the tank!
Good work Katie! I'm proud of you for trying new ways to keep the little guys alive! Poor Sike...
