My little worms are just growing up so fast...

Holy smokes! We have active little pets here. I have noticed that they are pretty lethargic-ish during the day, and then become SUPER active at night! They are all over the place. It is kind of fun to watch. Maybe the prefer darkness? That is what Katie and I decided. Currently there is a paper towel on top of some of them, and they have come to live IN the paper towel. Don't ask me how they do it, who even knew our little mealworms were so talented?! They are getting so long and going through apple slices like we go through toilet paper. I think that means we are being successful. Hopefully some of them live to become Beatles...yes, apparently our mealworms are growing up to me rockstars! ...I definitely mean beetles. Wouldn't that be sweet? Yeah, my roommates also think I am crazy. Along with my entire FHE group who thought that I was raising mealworms for fun. Who does that?! They have all shed their 'skin' and I am REALLY grateful I am not assigned to clean out their 'cage'. Katie want to come over and do it?! ;) I just can not force myself to be ok with it. I have yet to convince myself to hold one..or my roommates. We have also picked up the naming task where Katie and her sibs left off. It is coming along nicely.

Who is a proud guardian? :)

Here are a few pictures of our worm friends from when I first got them until last night! ENJOY!









Cute right?!
