Hi new member Brian A belated birthday greetings to you. Wishing success for your nest 7 is a good number. My Nell has 9 but expect that they will not rear them all if they hatch. I have ordered Waxworm culture and larger Waxworms for later on plus mealies, I shall be broke again no doubt by the time the season finishes but who cares it's only money!

Haha, you're just as bad as me. I'll be broke before they fledge.

Well Done Chloe Oh and Happy Belated Birthday Elle xx Thanks Elle, Chloe has finished laying. I'm delighted with the 8 as its the most I ever had in nest boxes. Hope they all hatch now as she is incubating. Thanks for Birthday wishes.

Thats lovely Hardy....love all the foliage nearby too. Thats why they chose that box I imagine!!
In my last house, I didn't have any close foliage like that. Makes all the difference.

Hi Hardy, I was investigating meal worms, and Pet Bliss.ie appear to be delivering mealies....€4.50 per carton, however, it doesn't say how much you get in that carton? I feel the carton will be very small - not sure why I think this!!! But I've seen the tubs that they sell in the regular pet shops and they are usually quite small. www.pet-bliss.ie/product/reptile-live-food-mealworms/Reptile Rooms used to deliver, however, they have recently closed. They were based in Waterford. Helen on this site is also looking into it.

Hi Hardy...for your information: Pet Bliss confirmed there are approx 30-40 worms in tub.
So I doubt one tub would last long for a clutch of 8 or so chicks at €4.50 a pop!!!

Wow, that's a lot of money for not much. The tubs we get are on offer 3 for 2 so that is £5.50. Our current box was started on friday and we've been putting out approx 60 mealworms out each day and there are still loads more. Maybe my current box was well packed though

On time with the hatching. 3 hatched by 10am this morning. Will try and get a few videos up later. I noticed male bringing a lot of moths to Chloe yesterday and on duty again this morning.
