    Post worm Protocol ...

    So as time grows short for my first clutch, "day 56 just happens to fall on Feb. 29th", ... That's right ... Leap year worms!!

    Anyways, I was kinda curious to see what some of your post worm procedures are .. for instance after out of the egg when and what do you switch substrate to, When do you offer the first feeder, at what point do you separate everybody to their own tubs? And ofcourse any other tips you can think to offer are welcome as this is my first clutch

    Thanks in advance !!

    I put them in their own tubs as soon as they come out of the egg.
    Moist paper towels.
    Ramp up the breeding mice for hoppers. (this doesn't always work)

    X2, I clean them with water before they go to their tub.

    As soon as they come out of their egg I wash the gunk off of them, pop them, fill out their card, put them in individual tubs with a layer of damp paper towels and a water bowl. After they shed I offer them a hopper mouse. Once they get the hang of feeding I switch them to frozen thawed.
