Damage control
Last night I went through and divided Colony A into three groups, because I found five more dead worms. The three groups are -
- actively eating/healthy looking
- molting, stationary, and questionable health
- probably ill
I put the healthy ones in a new big container that has lots of airflow. This morning it looks like most of the molting and sick worms are okay. In fact some from both groups had molted and were eating just fine. However, I found four more dead worms in the healthy group. They looked like they had just died and weren't spewing liquid, so I hope I got them out in time.
I'll have two more big airy containers by the end of this evening so I can split my other two colonies. I need to cut down the crowding and increase the airflow on all my colonies or I'm going to run into the same issues.
So far, the death toll stands at 21.
