    Refrigerate, but not too cold. From the Vados website:

    "Check and remove any dead every other day at a minimum. We recommend storing your waxies at about 43-49 degrees. When fishing try to keep them about the same temp and out of the direct sun light."

    Add a little oatmeal to your container to keep them fat and fed.

    I bought an old refrigerator that I keep in the workshop. I turned it down to about 45º to keep my meal, wax and red wiggler worms. I also keep 1 quart milk jugs filled about ¾ full in the freezer to throw into the cooler I take fishing. Best $45 I ever spent.

    I get my waxies off Ebay but found my refrigerator from a local classified site.

    45 degrees is good if they get to cold they will die if they get to hot they will die, a little dormitory refrige works great they are only about 32 inches high get a hang on thermomator to keep an eye on the temp
