First of all the only reason people put them in the fridge is so they hibernate. So when they are hibernating they cant really pupate. When you want them to pupate, put them in a tub with some bran and a carrot (or similar vegie) and keep them in a warm place. I keep mine in one of my reptiles rooms at 90F. In a week or so you will notice a ton of pupating mealies. If you have anymore Q's just ask.
