Mealworm beetles for sale?

[Doggey75]

Hi. Does anyone know where they can find mealworm beetles? In about a month or so I'm gonna start breeding mealworms since I am soon to get more leopard geckos when my rack comes. But, I don't wanna wait till my mealworms become pupates then beetles. Also, anyone have any tips on breeding them

I started breeding my own mealworms and they are very easy. I use oatmeal or wheat bran as bedding and apples and carrots as water gonna add more to that and where are you located im soon gonna have alot of beetles

Try to find the largest mealworms you can. They will pupate the quickest.

I just kept about 30 mealworms in a tub separate from my thousands in fridge to let them pupate. When they turned I put them in a separate tub and when the turned Beatle I separated them to their own tub with food. There are plenty of how to's on the web.

Now this is going to be A LOT OF BEETLES!


I have so many beetles already I don't know what I'm going to do with them. Can I put them in the refrigerator to prevent them from turning in to beetles right now?
