Superworm breeding

Soooo I decided to try to breed superworms and everytime I tried to pupate them… none would curl up they would die.. so then I thought okay… maybe it’s cause they are in coco fibre and I didn’t give them enough things to eat to get moisture and where big enough to pupate. So I moved my remaining worms into oats and gave them ground up food I give to my roaches.. and I gave them watering beads and some kind of fruit or vegetable. Then I decided to try to pupate my biggest ones at got 2 out of 5 to pupate. So then my first beetle seemed off right from the time it became a beetle.. seemed super slow and today I found it dead not even a week later… I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong lol I can breed mealworms like crazy and roaches and just got crickets down but superworms… I’ve killed maybe 50 of them lol
Is it cause I maybe didn’t give it enough moisture before pupating.. or was this a inbreed superworm I got..
 
We just put our supers in a tackle box separated and put them in the dark for a few weeks, they c up then eventually pupate. They can’t see each other no food. But should be full large adults worms.
Worked well for us. 😊
 
for some reason if light hit mine when I was getting them to pupate it messed them up. Also they must be fully adult worms. Full darkness for like 3 weeks and mine were all little aliens. Like GrannyK said the tackle box method works well. Works well when feeding smaller chams to have baby supers as treats.

Interesting. I hadn’t given any thought to light. I keep them in a closet out of the way though where they get only twilight levels of light.
