I jut use a plastic shoe box and poke holes in the lid. Feed them flour, oatmeal and cornmeal with sliced potatoes for moisture. I let a few mature to beetles to get the eggs and keep the supply going. some keep in the fridge so they don't mature

I use a clear plastic box that is used for small animals like hermit crabs it has a hinged top I put the gray cardboard egg crates in for food

Refrigerating them is the best bet, but if you'd like to keep them at room temperature they must be fed. You can store them in a plastic container so that they can be kept with bran for their bedding and given chopped starchy vegetables for their water. You will also need to sift out their castings (poop) once every week.

A plastic container with a lid, like from sour cream or a spread. poke small holes in the lid to allow air in. The worms are shipped in crumpled news paper, so you will need to provide food, like wheat germ, apple, bread, ground up cereal, etc

I bought a tote, cut a hole in the top and glued a screen on with a hot glue Gun. Cost about 10 dollars

I would think in the freezer in zip locks would be the way to store them. A deep freeze would be even better than the freezer compartment of the refrigerator.

I just store mine in the hard plastic see-through sleeve that they are packaged in. Since it is hard plastic, it is all you need to store these dies and it keeps them safe!

I do not know if it's the best way, but I store mine in a container with a cover.

Normally I buy the large 5lb plastic jar (tub) which I store in the refrigerator after opening. If you don't have one, try Tupperware or gladware.

Keep them in a tightly lidded jar - a dry place. That's not difficult here in Arizona. Hope this helps.

I store mine in the freezer in airtight containers. Works OK, and it should prevent all nasty critters. Mine hasn't gotten soggy or anything after a few months of this.BTW, I recommend NOT buying this much masa unless you're sure that your needs are awfully high. I'm regretting buying so much. 50 pounds is way more than I expected.

I store mine inside at a constant temperature but you can store them outside as long as you keep them out of the direct Florida sun ..

I place them in an empty Altoids container . Any small metal container will do. Once full, I tape the top closed and put it out for recycling.

I store ours in a Rubbermaid tote. Easy to store & the handle makes it easy for them to carry them around.

I store mine in a plastic container that locks tightly. The primary reason for that is to keep insects out. Rice will keep for months in a cool, dry space.

I think any fairly air tight container would work. One nice thing about these is the height allows me to mix and store in the same container. If it was much smaller, this wouldn't work and I'd have to dirty up two things to make dough.

Mine are in a white five gallon bucket. I still feel the most important thing for storage is a somewhat even temperature. My storage is in our 4'crawl space under our home. But...the packaging protects the product so I do not think you need special storage containers.

Put them in a covered jar and place a damp paper towel on them in a cool, dark place. That will help keep them. Some people wrap them individually in plastic to keep them airtight but I think the former works better. Hope this helps!

They should be kept in an air tight container -- but you could store them in the fridge or even the freezer. Albanese also has a website you could visit for details or questions. http://www.albanesecandy.com/

I refrigerate them in the bag they came in. Take out what you need and let them warm before use. I dip them in clonex solution before use

I would store them like you would pasteurized. I soak and dehydrate mine then store in the refrigerator. They would do do fine in an airtight container in the pantry too.
