Depending on the type of Lug, I assume standard blow lug you can individually wrap them in newspaper and take out the dead ones if they die, this way they won't affect the other ones. Cut the individual wraps similar in shape to cigarette papers, ensure the news paper is damp but not wet. This, I have found makes lug last 2-3 days more than throwing them all in together, even when using sand, vermiculite, shredded newspaper or other natural absorbents.
