This is probably old news to the pros, but.....

When I got my first batch of meal worms in th email, I placed them in a small styrofoam cooler.

What I came to find out was they were chewing/gnawing their way through the styrofoam.

Now I have no idea if they are consuming the styrofoam or not.

Does anyone think they might be dnagerous as food now?

I have some on the way. But I am worried about the time period before I realized what they were doing.

I have leopard geckos.

I would think that whether they ate it or not they will have digested it or not and it will be gone in a couple days.
And yes, I haven't had this happen but a friend had Zophoba in a tub and an electrical cord fell in the tub and the worms climbed out and ate holes into his (new) styrofoam incubator.....he was not pleased.
