Re: Maddies
Oops, could be a big mistake was running them under the tap. I always clean them as i dig and do it again when i finish.
Always bring a bottle with you to fill with sea water to store them. Cat litter trays are very good. Put in no more than 100 maddies and just enough water to cover them and store in the fridge. I change the water the next day and then every 2nd day and throw out any dead ones.

Re: Maddies
Noel, if you are using them within a day or two, just leave them well alone in the dirt they carry and purge and keep them in the fridge, make sure your fridge isnt freezing stuff though. Works fine.
