My mate brought some of these from last essex show gave me some and they are doing well!
In fact really well but none and i mean none of my inverts will touch them!
Hoping to start with some toads and newts soon you think it would be worth hanging on to them for them?

Right, out of my collection, the milk frogs eat them, (you can hear them go crunch!) as do the young chameleons, all but the smallest of the poison dart frogs and some of the geckoes. I do vary their food a lot though, and never feed the weevils two days on the trot. Wink

From what I have been told/read they need to be kept at slightly above room temperature to prosper??

I was hoping to keep them in the unheated shed etc....do they smell at all?

Dont wanna have to keep them in a warm room if they stink

Small weevils , slightly smaller than a house fly. Incredibly prolific.

They will thrive at room tempreture of 75f 80f is even better, mine don't smell at all, easy as to culture.
