G'day Macca,are these blow fly or bushfly maggots? Anyway either need to be stored in fresh dry bran in a container with NO lid in the refrigerator on setting 1 or 2,they don't die they become dormant and you feed them out this way. Cheers Craig

No not at that temp but as you use them,give the container a bit of a shake/tumble around so they don't clump in a mass lump. Craig
