 MUTATIONS! HELP!
I Just Got A Few, About 15, beetles that are some what mutated. Some are missing body parts, one missing a whole part of its back. One Has three antenna’s. Does Anybody Know What I Might Be Doing Wrong For Theses Peculiar Things To Happen? I Checked The Temperature and It is 75-80. I Checked All The Feeding But I cant Find Anything wrong with the nutrition. Can Somebody Please Tell Me What Can Be Going On? I Don’t Want This To Happen To Any Of My Other Super-worms When They Become Beetles!

wow three antenna? thats something I never heard of, Im still keeping my eyes out for a 2headed mealies somewhere in my cage though. But the mutation is probably because the temp or they were disturbed when pupating. I’ve only had those problem w/ regular mealies never super before (i house each super in each box). But mealies I just dump them all into one box when they pupate. I dont know do u have any normal super beetle?

Well, From The Lastest Batch of Super-worm Pupa they all came out with something weird only one or two were normal. Do You Think I should move them to a warmer climate or colder? I have a new batch of Worms Almost About To Go Into The Pupa Stage, So Please, Respond Quickly.
