Hello all!! I have done so much research on breeding these mealworms and seem have super success. I got all my mealworms from the pet store and kept them downstairs in a 3 drawer bin with oat and wheat bran and Cheerios crushed up and oats then a bit of cornmeal
I put in scraps of fruits and veggies! They love apples and carrots and strawberries but don’t seem to like potato as much
They have all gone into pupa stage at some point and then turn into beetles! I have like 7 or 8 beetles now
Over 60 pupas and over 100 meal worms! I keep the beetles in the top drawer amd when they lay their eggs they will drop down the mesh and into the second drawer I have for the meal worms and then the last bin are the pupas
Pupas need humidity to change so I put them on a wet napkin and in my bathroom where it heats up well and has humidity!!
I found when I keep my room between 70f to 85f they change fast and the only issue I been having is some are not going from pupa to beetle stage easily and look deformed lol
But I just feed those guys off and keep it going!!
