Those Mexican Jumping Beans are a huge problem... taking jobs away from American beans.
put them in a tuppaware container with some leaves and water. They will live for about 2-3 days at the most, unfortunately and just look for a mate. Unless you have the same plant nearby, the life cycle is over and they will die shortly.
My beans just hatched what do I do to keep them alive
i dont get it because other websites say you can take your bean a bath in a like a tiny toy tub but other people say dont do that
i dont know what to do :(
You can gently dry them with paper towel, letting them set may cause some mildew.

Great idea, I can just imagine setting them on the table watching them jump for hours. Paying so much attention to the jumping beans, we forget to be stressed. :)
Thank you for the comment, so appreciated.
Oh, I love this. And as a child - we had to have these. What a fun, clever hub. Thanks so much. Now I want them once again. It's been a million years.
What a fun gift this will make for my adult friends. I think the beans will relieve stress. Especially if we name them.
Yay! Rated up!
DzyMsLizzy-every Spring when a shrub in Mexico begins to bloom, a few weeks later the eggs hatch and the tiny larvae eats its way to the inside of the flowers capsule. The capsules that contain the larva become hard and change to a brownish color. The moth larvae, now begins eating the developing seed inside the capsule as food, the capsules separate into three sections and fall to the ground. The capsules that contain a moth larvae inside begin to jump. The Mexican Jumping Bean has come to life. I hope that answers your question :)
I wonder what kind of bug or worm comes out if they do hatch? I've always wondered that, but never tried to do so. LOL
Also, are they seeds appropriated by a bug, or are they actual egg cases of whatever parent insect--as with a cocoon??
LOL! No I don't have jumping beans, but my niece and nephews have them, they begged me to order them for them. They love them.
Oh My Goodness-I loved Mexican Jumping Beans as a kid. Glad to know they are still available. Do you have Mexican Jumping Beans as Pets??? Hee hee
