LOL You don't. If you want, pick out the beetles and move them into a new container. Let the babies be til they are big enough to sift out.

they'll grow more...you just need to give them time.

I would agree that moving the beetles to a new container is what I usually do.

so get another 16qt container then moove the beetles n put the other somewhere else, then wait about 4 weeks maybe, get all the mealies out, then change back n do the same thing with the new container with most likely more eggs n stuff in it?

Pretty much! I keep 3 rotating bins. One with beetles, one with small worms, and ones with big feedable worms that are soon to pupate.
