 HELP PLEASE

i recommend to start out with 100 adult mealworms or superworms. give them apples, potatoes, or carrots for moisture. Basically you wait till they turn into a pupa.After they turn into a pupa you separate them because they are cannibalistic. After they hatch separate them immediately because the beetles will eat the pupa. Place moist soil for them to lay their eggs on. when you start seeing baby worms separate them and start the cycle all over again.

You need to put oats or whole wheat in with the worms for them to eat. Aduts will also eat vegitables and fruits. These are also good for moisture with worms.
