Just started a colony of crickets/mealworms

[rchase54]

I have a slide-out shelving unit that I converted for them. I have the crickets seperated by size for my different-sized geckos. I was wondering if it was ok to mix superworms and regular mealworms though?

Also, I feed them all a dry mix of cricket feed and oats, and a wet mix of the same thing. I also give them some fruit and carrots. I think I have their diet down, but any suggestions?

Also, I'll provide pics if it'd be helpful

I would guess that the superworms could ultimately eat the mealworms. I'd recommend grinding up the grain so it's easier to sift out the worms from the bedding, if you're not doing that already.

Superworms are very cannibalistic. I would assume they would eat all your mealworms. I keep mine separate. Make sure to give them carrot or potatos as a water source. This helps reduce the cannibalism.

I'm giving carrots and fruit as a source of water/nutrition

And yeah, I grind up the grain.
