Today we received our second batch of (600) BSF larvae. We made a few changes to our experiment: we purchased only medium-sized BSF, we will turn off the light in the growth chamber (BSF are photophobic), and will dramatically increase the humidity setting to 75%+.
Right now, they are all together, hanging out in a large yogurt container and are quite happy (and active) on a diet of coffee grounds. We are working on getting a supplier for chicken feed and once we do, we will switch their diet to chicken feed (it's much more balanced than mere coffee grounds).
I'm off to grandma's for two weeks and I hope some cute little pupa will greet me when I come back : )
