Lol... Lele, mine stay nice and clean if I feed them this way pretty much until they start to cocoon. And since they sit ontop, of window screen, 50% of the poop falls through and the rest dries really fast because its open to air and hardens.

The only time I have had messy worms is when a shipment arrived four days late because I had it sent to the wrong postal code!

They love them!
