I have a superworm beetle!! ...Now what?

[Khrysty]

I finally have a superworm beetle and 3 more pupas. How should I set up their enclosure? I've seen quite a few different ways to do it..so I'd appreciate tips from those of you that breed them.

and then they ate each other lol i have no idea what theyre supposed to be kept in i just guessed at it.
but hopefully someone can give you some tips!!

Someone had posted a breeding tutorial awhile back. I remember they kept them in those chinese food containers, I think it was from Breanna Banana or something similar, lemme see if I can find it.

Ooops name was way wrong and it wasn't a tutorial... http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=32199 but they seem to have an easy time just using oatmeal and carrots I'm gunna keep searching.

There's also an article by Cody on Gecko Time (www.geckotime.com) about breeding superworms.

I just do the same as how I did the mealworms. Put it in a container with oatmeal bedding and give it carrot for moisture. I have a "colony" of just 4 beetles, but I have hundreds of babies already!

I have it in a container with oatmeal, some dog food, carrots, and an egg carton now. Waiting on the other pupas to turn into beetles for me
