I've trying to start my own superworm colony.

I got superworms turn into adult and I got these adult to mate and make eggs but babies keep dying or eating eaten.

I now made a screen bottom for the colony tub with another tub (the nursery tub) underneath it so the babies can fall to the bottom instead of getting eaten. Unfortunately the nursery tub hold in too much moisture and the veggies I leave in there get too moldy too quickly and kill the babies.

How to do you keep these microscopic worms alive to visibility? I need as much advise as I could get.

I leave the babies in with the beetles for a month or so, providing vegetable parings for all of them. Then I pick out the beetles, put them in fresh bedding and put the old bedding with the baby worms in another container. It's mostly bedding and not much vegetable, which helps.
