How to Keep the Maggots Warm and Happy?

Rylo has proposed a solution to keep the maggots warmer, and thus happier and more active. When they are more active, they eat more, and mature faster which is what we want at this stage in the game.
He suggests what I think is a very solid idea: Put the chicken feed in an insulated cup, which will keep the feeding maggots warmer than the surrounding culture. We may even drill small holes in to the insulated cup so that only small maggots can enter. And just to be clear, by insulated cup, we mean (for example) the lid to a thermos.
I'll keep you updated on whether this works or out- we just introduced the thermos lid today.
