Спасибо за комментарий! Я думаю что проблема не с плесенью. Они плесень кушают но не всякую. В английском языке люди часто используют слово "mold" для описания любой плесени. А это не правильно. И вот как раз плесень которая попадает под описание "mold" они то и не едят. Я родом с Николаева.

Michael, I love your curiosity! I find your videos very inspiring. I'm going to try this experiment for myself. I would also like to try culturing nematode live foods in a similar way. I would like to find a way that is cleaner than the traditional way of culturing those (instant potatoes or oatmeal for microworms and Walter worms / apple cider vinegar for vinegar eels). Have you tried using scouring pads with them before? FYI: I just bought a multipack of these pads a couple of days ago at the Dollar Tree. They come in different colors now, handy if you want to color-code your experiments.
I did not try culturing nematodes. Though, I had wild samples on different occasions - back then I was not interested in culturing them. I may try to culture them in year or two. Right now all available space I put for Isopods, Grindal worms, and Springtails. I used different color polyester to mark experiments as well! All the best on your adventure!
I did an experiment feeding Springtails with moss - a video about it is scheduled for publication in two weeks. Maybe some Springtails do feed on mold, but I have never seen my Springtails feed on mold.
@@CeCee-no8bg Many of terrarium keepers I spoke with don't see Springtails touching mold. I've also never seen it in any of my setups with Springtails.
Hi Michael, researching how to culture grindal worms - finding all your culturing videos fantastic. Well, all your videos are fantastic really - I'm a long time subscriber. So I just received a small culture and not sure what medium I should set up. Not peat moss, that's for sure! My grindals came in "worm bedding" which I think is just paper. Should I just put in my tray some dampened scouring pad without cleanser and top it with the grindal/paper mix and sprinkle a bit of food on the pad around the paper and hope they move out into the pad? Or is there something better than the pad that I should use? My hubby asked me to only have 2 cultures of grindal worms (lack of space) - how would YOU set them up if you could only have 2? I'm sure glad you have a rack with room for your experiments!!
Thank you very much for following me and for the questions! Whatever bedding you got the worms on should work great for start - worms already accustomed to it. What medium to use for culturing depends on the goals you want to achieve. That actually something I've been working to explain in one of my future videos. But since you asked...here is the gist of it: Grindal worms on all mediums shown in my previous videos need daily care (feeding and moistening). It yields great quantity of worms. But it also hard to keep up with in a long term. Like if you go for a week long vacation and find dead culture when you return. And one out of dozen cultures would die out for whatever reason on all those mediums in my settings. So, polyester foam is great as it is or with live moss, or live moss along in this regards. Since the last winter I've been culturing Grindal worms on wilted leaves (a video is coming in about 2 months). Wilted leaves is basically similar to the paper medium you got your worms on. Cultures on wilted leaves are 100% stable so far - I lost none for over 10 months period so far. I feed worms in those cultures much less. Leaves retain moister way better than any other mediums I tried so far and worms feed on wilted leaves. And those can be left without supervision for more than a week. Though, the cultures on wilted leaves yield less worms. I will put more details in future videos for sure. So, the best way to go about choosing the medium I think is to setup different cultures on different mediums - to fit whatever needs you may come to. All the best on your adventure! PS: I stack containers on top of each other to save space - a couple dozen stacks of 4 16oz containers fit in a standard size boxed IKEA shelf unit.
@@4me Well thank you so much for your reply Michael:) I look forward to seeing a wilted leaves video. Actually going away for a week is a big concern as I do trips almost monthly that are 3 to 10 days each. I was considering taking the bins with me since they are not too big. I love the idea of wilted leaves but not sure how I will handle that in the winter as the leaves will be dry and crumbly by then. Still - I'll give it a go and collect some leaves from mulberry and maybe some sweetgum and sassafras since there's a lot of them by me. I have enough from original starter to make 2 more bins - surely I can find a good hiding place for them until I see which bin does best for me!
I've never seen any lizards in Central park to tell you for sure. Though, I've seen Italian wall lizard at Crotona park in Bronx. There are a couple families nesting that I know about. I think I showed it in some of my videos...or maybe I was planning to. OMG - I don't remember right now! Well anyway. In Crotona park those lizards nests are at the same location where I made a livestream video about a turtle: ruclips.net/video/yavXEpt2x3A/видео.html.

I learned so much from your videos. Thank you
My pleasure! All the best on your adventures!
Nice video
Good information
Thank you very much!
Yes
Thank you!
I wanna try this out! Thank you!

Springtails absolutely feed on mold. They will prioritize the cereal first, if you go an extra day or two without feeding the mold will be gone.
I did an experiment feeding Springtails with moss - a video about it is scheduled for publication in two weeks.
Maybe some Springtails do feed on mold, but I have never seen my Springtails feed on mold.
That's interesting. I have never had mold disappear. The springtails just don't touch it.🙃

Hey Micheal I know you go to Central Park but I wanna know are there any species of lizard in Central Park 🤔
