Mealworm Beetle Colony August 26/2015 Over-Feeding Challenge 2015

by **admin** Wed Aug 26, 2015 2:19 pm

I started to realize that I could do more fun things with my Mealworms if I had more then just one Experiment Colony to work with. So instead of messing with my Feeders I decided to just go ahead and split up the beetles from the Mealworms. I will be adding all new beetles to this Colony. I hope you enjoy! Pictures to follow!

This Colony will be the new "Experiment Colony" I have since the last update added in about 20+ More beetles. I have been finding more in the Main Colony lately. I am hoping to have a very very large Colony by Fall so I can do a Really Cool Experiment with them.

I've decided to start an Over-Feeding Challenge with this Colony. I will only be counting carrots not dry food. This Over-Feeding Challenge will be a bit different then one's I've done in the past. It won't have a definite goal or anything like that or a definite time-frame. I'm just going to see how long I can keep it going.

Will post more about Over-Feeding Challenges eventually!

Day#1- August 29/2015

Fed Colony 3 Carrots!

Total: 3 P.I.C.

Update I didn't think about doing an Over-Feeding Challenge at the time of this feeding, however since they are still working on it I have decided to count it into the Over-Feeding Challenge anyways.

I should mention this on this blog post [as well as the other] in about 9 days my Mealworm Colony will be 1 Year old. I have a special Video Slide-Show coming for then Stay Tuned!

Sorry about the lack of Pictures and just general Posts on the blog recently. Busy time, things usually slow down after Winter kicks in.

Anyway, I have fed the Colony 3 More Carrots, they finished the last three. It's been taking a lot longer then I had expected, but my Colony is in a state of always growing. Since I'm adding Beetles from my Main Colony.

Total: 6 P.I.C.
