I'm jealous of your operation, I haven't had the time to set up my superworms to breed in a while but I have to soon. They look like they're doing well!
 
Lisa, the worst part is ( if you remember ) that is just 1 of 4 tubs I have going not including the breeding tubs!!! :rolleyes:

I do remember! I still have some of the ones I got from you last time!!!! Sounds to me like you need to start selling some and making a bit of pocket change!!!!!!
 
Black beetles are what the worms become so that they can lay eggs. That is a nice load of superworms pal. I had this problem X10 with crickets. I ended up having more than I could handle, I began giving them away to my neighbor, until one day the dog knocked over their bin and hundred of the ba$tards scattered across my backyard...I had no choice and I ended up culling the herd with Ortho...
 
How long does it take the egg to hatch and grow into a superworm?

It depends on the temperature to some degree but it took mine about 5 months from the time I started to when the worms were full adult size.i could see some movement in the substrate after about 6 weeks or so after I removed the beetles. I had worms large enough to feed in about 31/2 months but they were still not large enough to pupate yet. Hope that helps but if you have any other questions feel free to hit me up!!!

Meal worms or superworms ? They are done differently
