Hi all!
I fed my mealworms some vegetables from my fridge, and then I noticed a beetle walking frantically around while twitching. A few worms were curled up in a circle. I quickly took the vegetables out so they wouldn't do any more damage. Then I noticed the beetles just lying on their backs with their legs moving and twitching. And a worm was twitching too.
Could this be caused by pesticide on the vegetables? (actually, after writing this down, I'm pretty sure it's pesticide) Are they just gonna die or might they recover? If they do recover is it still safe to feed my T's with them?
