starting to bread mealworms

[EvoDave101]

well today i found my 1st pupae so this inspired me to start trying to breed them

first tub: 30 mealworms in a tub with loads of mashed up cereal an lettece an carrots

second tub: mashed up cereal an my 1st pupae

third tub: will have mashed up cereal, food an some things to hide under

i hope im doing this all right ive put them behind my leo viv so its warm as i read warmth makes them grow quicker

Does one breed superworms in a similar fashion?

For superworms, you need to isolate the individual worm in order for them to change into pupae; after they changed, then the process is the same as breeding mealworms.

Superb.

I have had them pupate and become adult beetles by accident many, many times, but never bothered to breed them.

Is there a thorough tutorial post/thread?

Thanks.
