Let me start by saying that whoever said that it was hard to get collareds to breed or hatch just flat lied! LOL! I don't mean you, Boost. I know you mentioned some literature a few months ago. I have both WT females laying and the darned easterns have that stupid, "I'm makin' eggs!" grin, again!!

So, right before laying season I bought a jumbo sized bag of verm. It is almost empty! Do I need to go out and buy another jumbo bag, or is it okay to wet and reuse verm if the eggs and babies were all healthy? Does it loose its antifungal or moisture retaining properties or is there a chance that it will harbor bacteria? How about microwaving it between uses?
