r/mealworms

Woot! My first beetle!

So i just got my mealworm farm set up. I got this oat bedding stuff and I feed them carrots twice a week, I dont have very many right now. I have a newly hatched beetle, another hatching and a bunch of kakunas. Should I separate the worms from the kukanas and the kukanas from the beetles? I know they can sometimes eat each other.

You can feed them almost everything

Bedding used is wheat bran which acts as a dry feed matter.

Is there any physical difference between a mealworm and a superworm beyond just size?

Is this set up okay? Also would I be able to see the eggs when they are laid? It’s hard to tell with the blended oats.

is it possible for their to be eggs in the container my petco gave me because I have no beetles and tons of baby meal worms are showing up (size: 0.5-0.7in)
