I am attempting to breed superworms, I have successfully morphed the larva into beetles. My questions are
1. Will the beetles eat all of the eggs?
2. What do I feed the beetles and do I need to use a wic system for water?
3. How long should it take for me to notice babies ?
Thanks:)

Here are my answers:
1. Will the beetles eat all of the eggs?
I don't think so. With my mealworm breeding I remove the beetles and put them in new substrate about every month.

2. What do I feed the beetles and do I need to use a wic system for water?
Their bedding should be their food. Use a quality gut load (I get mine from progeckos.com). Throw in some vegetable parings for moisture. Using actual water or water crystals will just gum up the gut load and then things will get moldy.

3. How long should it take for me to notice babies ?
They start out really tiny. It could take several weeks to a month at least.
