I heard they'll best survive in spring? At what temperature should I order the eggs?

It MUST be warm outside in order to get the best results possible. I would suggest at least 65

After the last frost has long past. I'll order mine in April or May. Depending also where you live.

I'm not a plant expert. I live in Chicago and I am waiting till late April or early May to get a few. I did get some last year and they grew big. They need a lots of room for roots so you will need a really big pot of in the ground. I don't have a place to bring them in for the winter but if you read up on them it says they can endure winter if they are protected. Good luck.

I've hatched these pods for several years now. Hatching them in some sort of container indoors is fine, just make sure it's warm enough outside for them to survive and release them soon after hatching so they can find food. They are very thin so make sure you use something with a fine mesh cover so they don't escape until you're ready.

They're best within three or four weeks. Keep sealed in a dry, room temp location. Give yourself time before ordering to account for the post office!

Hi, Amy. Good luck with the dried meal worms. We can't keep enough in he feeder during the cold months into early spring. We have noticed a slow down, but they still disappear in a couple of days. If you are a little more adventerous, try LIVE meal worms. The birds go nuts for these. The drawback is that they have to be kept in the fridge but if you're OK with that...a tupperware container with strips of news paper and some holes in the lid works just great. Bluebirds are our biggest consumers but other birds frequently stop by for a snack. Best wishes and good luck!!! alan in MA

Early spring is the best nest installation time just before newly determined couples are looking for suitable accommodations. I placed ours last May and no owls have decided to move in yet. I am hoping a pair will spot and like our box this year.

Good qu. not sure I can answer. but I'd hatch them indoors if you cant give them an area outside under 80 degrees. Buy a screened in case or put them on a plant indoors that you can move into the shade after they hatch. could be a hundred of them.... good luck!

In my opinion - - expect around the 4200k area. Unless something has changed lately. I will also say that they still perform very well with the addition of Foliar feeding during Veg, (very nice), dark period will need to be increased. cheers

If you order this size they will be our medium 3/4" mealworms and pupate into a beetle in about 5 weeks. As long as you keep them cool and offer them a piece of fresh carrot and some bran they will live inside a container for their life span. They can also be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks between 40° and 45° without any food required.

You can just keep them in your refrigerator. When you're ready take them out and wait. I have done this before and have some in my fridge now from last year's hatch.

Spring or Fall if it is too hot or too cold the shrimp die. Keep them inside where the temperature is controlled. They need light but artificial light works

We've raised thousands from eggs and we put them in a small brown paper bag with a paper clip on top and put them in a window but Not in direct sun. After a few weeks (and we check every day) you will hear the babies crawling around inside so we just take the bag outside to where we want to place them..carefully rip the bag open lengthwise and lay it on the ground. By the end of the day..most have found their way out and about, and if not, scoot the remainder off of the bag. Have fun!

I would as the heat helps in the process and they will need to be watered down occasionally. I think it would be better to start them in the spring.

350° or so. Just watch them closely since they will crisp up almost immediately.

Yes they will withstandwarm temps and hard rains but not harsh winters that's below 36 degrees you will have a short window to pick them once they've ripened

If the house is warm and you place them in a sunny window they should be ok I think. You will have to hand pollinate to have them bear fruit.
