I recently bought a huge bag of rabbit pellets from a feed store and transferred it into a plastic bag. I left it on the kitchen counter before I had a chance to put it into a big rubbermaid container. That was last night.
This morning, I saw a mealworm (baby form of beetle) lying dead in a small puddle of water just inches away from the bag. I guess I should also mention that there's a small hole in the bag (which I managed to rip myself as I was putting it on the counter).
I'm wondering.. has anyone ever found MEALWORMS in their pellets before? My boyfriend highly doubts it came outfrom the hole in the bag of pellets, but I think it's possible, especially if it's a batch that came into contact with a beetle(s) somehow.
I sifted through the bag of pellets just now and don't see anything unusual.
Any ideas? What are the chances of a mealworm finding itself on a counter if it's not from the pellets? I used to have turtles and fed mealworms to them...and from what I witnessed, they can't really climb.
