They need food probably. stick a carrot in their cup. The substrate they’re packed in is just wood chips and not food.

if they are about to change they will get sluggish if they turn black they are dying but to be honest i have never seen an alien turn into a beetle and i have raised thousands so im not 100 percent whether or not the aliens get black before changin to beetles but if the mealworms are black they are pretty much dead you should have some holes for them to breathe not alot but definitely some
