[gecko]Mealworm breeding (was Phoenix worms)

[Diane Rudesal]

An aquarium, wow. You must keep a lot of them! I don't keep that many at
a time (even when they were doing well) and I don't have room for
another aquarium/terrarium. But the orange peel idea is interesting,
since my husband eats a lot of oranges, as well as maybe keeping them
all together, especially until I have an increase in production. Thanks
for your input!
