How long can they be kept before they turn into something and what do they eat?
You don't feed them anything and I want to say 1-3 weeks - you will start getting one or two flies and over the course of a few weeks they will a turn. I usually buy the large ones. But you can feed them as flies to your beardie. When my Skittles was a baby he loved to chase them around the enclosure, catch and eat them. Now that he is a fat lazy adult I squish the flies and put them on his salad, which he also enjoys.
Exactly the answer I needed! I thought I did something and killed them :/Yep, 1-3 weeks if you leave them at room temp. If you keep them in the fridge they won't pupate. You can take them out before you feed them to your dragon, and let them warm up a bit to get them moving again.
