Worm-like songbirds include bamboo frogs, golden clams, large and small yellowflies, etc. These small, melodious moths are ideal for home breeding and listening. But because of its small size and delicate size, if the breeding is not properly managed, it is easy to cause death. So how can you raise a good number of worms?

Let's start with insects.
Commercially available moth utensils are varied and varied. From the material can be roughly divided into wooden boxes, bamboo boxes and plexiglass products. Common materials for wooden boxes are small-leaved rosewood, ebony and so on. These woods often have a special smell, and the worms are often difficult to adapt to. Some new playmates use wooden boxes to raise grasshoppers, and often find that the newly bought insects die inexplicably within a few days, mostly for this reason. Moreover, the wood is afraid of water, but the worms can not lack water, and the overly dry environment often causes the death of the worms.

Bamboo boxes are much better than wooden boxes, and there is no problem of drying and hurting insects because of peculiar smells. When choosing a bamboo box, remember one point, that is, the bamboo box with no arc in the inner corner should not be used, it is easy to hurt the whiskers, and the worms become bald or long and short whiskers for a long time. Although the box with the dental patch is highly ornamental, it is not practical and is not recommended. The most ideal bamboo box is a tall and thick single vegetarian bamboo box, not only to change food, over the insect cleaning convenience, but also high flexibility, easy to carry, large internal space, insects live in it is also relatively free, stretch.

Plexiglass bug boxes are also a good choice, especially the multi-body bug boxes. Because this kind of box does not have dead corners, it will not hurt insects, and the sound effect is also very good. In the selection, try to choose a large mass box, so that if you buy a long-bearded insect, it is more spacious to keep it, and the insect whiskers can have more swing space. It is not recommended for those inexpensive mass boxes with rough workmanship, shallow troughs and unstable paste.
After talking about insects, let's talk about food.
The food of the worm has a universal combination, that is, rice, pumpkin, apple, most of the worms will not resist, so it is worth prioritizing. Then there's the red and white double ingredient. Red is a white loaf of bread poured into freshly squeezed carrot juice, moistened and placed in a small amount in the food trough. White material originally referred to milk, but it is easy to cause premature aging of the flyworm oil, and later some playmates replaced it with soy milk, and the effect improved significantly.
There is no need for worms to open meat too early. In general, meat is not allowed until the end of November to December, and the best meat bait is mosquitoes and aphids. The most taboo to use royal jelly, although the insects are prone to a few days after eating, but soon turn old, the tail whiskers become black, the color is dark.
Finally, let's talk about hygiene and cleanliness.
Insects are living creatures, living in small rooms, it is inevitable that there are many metabolic excrement, which requires regular cleaning of insects. As the saying goes, "illness comes from the mouth", people eat not fresh food is easy to get sick, and so are songworms. During the feeding process, the uneaten old food should be cleaned in time, and the food trough should be cleaned together. Usually, you can prepare a few more food troughs, and it is faster and more convenient to take turns to use.
Bamboo bug box
If there is too much feces in the box, you need to clean up the worm box. Before cleaning, the insects need to be driven into the mosquito net and allowed to move and crawl. If it is a bamboo box, you can clean the feces in the box with clean cotton dipped in water, and if you encounter fecal traces, you can use a toothbrush to remove it; if it is an organic box or a million bodies, you can directly rinse it with water. Remember to dry with toilet paper or cotton balls when cleaning is complete. The next work is to deworm back to the box, in order to safely and smoothly pass the box, it is recommended that you still use the tube. The pipe is divided into a Chinese-style pipe and a horse-style pipe, the latter is relatively large, the worm cover worm is easier, and it must be used with pompoms.
