So much easier!

Better than my shoebox tote setup. Easy to set up and get going. Pods arrived in time to get them set up for the bugs arriving the next day (all alive and thriving!). After a week the beetles began expiring, I would separate the dead from the living next too the chick brooder. They would watch in absolute silence waiting for me to toss in the dead and a few worms adding to the entertainment.

Thank you for the review - The Hatching Time Team
