Superworm colony a GO!

They will pupate with food. I weigh mine and only use the ones that are 0.9 grams or bigger.

For healthier insects, a more nutritious bedding is recommended. They will live off of oats or chicken mash, but it's better to use healtheir food.

Sounds good...So what are the healthier foods you recommend?

Neato! Im not so sure I like the beetles though.... they are freakish large lol

Perhaps adding a bit of brewers yeast, bee pollen, spirulina, beans, etc. Brewers yeast makes them grow very fast from what I have heard.

I have actually read that using yeast to make them grow fast is not the healthiest way to go. But I don't know, I read that on one breeding site

Thanks pssh! BTW what type of beans can they eat? And where do you stand on bran?

If you start adding to much it will start to mold. The chicken layer is high in protean and other vitamins.
