Breeding Mealworms

[g man]

Hello everyone i was starting to think of ways to save money on mealworms. So i am gonna try and breed them. Does anyone know how to breed mealies and an estimate of how long it will take?

First you need the meal worm to pupate and morph into beatles. Once you have about 5 or more beatles I'd say you have a good chance of having male & females beatles. Leave them in a container like you would if they were still worms for about 2-3 weeks. Take them out and place them in another container. Again leave them in there for about 2-3 weeks. At about this time the first container should start showing signs of baby mealies. I lightly spray these containers every other day. You will see the food/bedding start moving. Keep them warm and they will grow quicker as when compared to room temp. That is all I have been doing for the past 6 months, I feel it's pretty easy.
