Let's get this party started!
Bought "100 live mealworms" at pet store picking the oldest date available to burn as much of the clock and speed up the no breeding stage. And while sifting out the worms to get a start weight saw a significant number of casualties so I counted 94 live mealworms, and 33 dead but apparently the dead have no mass so cool?
Nov update weight 24 g so *8 times increase and started vermicompost experiment, vermicompost can apparently be feed to BSF and I want to see if it works for mealworms too.
