Wiggle Farm is under way. My favorite color (today) is green. So, Wiggle Farm works for me. It is about 2 feet high and about 18″ square. It has expandable trays (5 additional ones). Which seems to be a good idea as the wiggling masses report to reproduce 100% of population in 90 days. If I do the math – that is 4,000. Hmmm, who would have guessed?

They are named “Francis” all of them – which makes life easy. Does Francis have enough food? Is Francis warm / cool enough? However, this morning it was “Oh, Francis got out!” They are curious! It is a little uncomfortable handling them, only because  they are slippery, and to hold them securely, well . . .  you wouldn’t want to overdue it!

What I learned about them is the temperature. Currently there is a thermometer inserted in the farm that is registering at about 110°. I was surprised when a picked a bunch up for show and tell – that they were warm. They do feel a little like overcooked spaghetti – takes a minute to acclimate to that. More reports on Francis as they progress.
