How To Breed Superworms...

Well I found my post but it had a dead link .... So I kinda had to put it back together to make a new post...LOL....

I just thought I’d let everyone know how I breed my SUPERWORMS........

I keep everyone in my "Meals On Wheels"...LOL...

For my Supers I keep them in one of the drawers with bran and oatmeal and I feed them carrots and potatoes and collard greens and turnip greens stems and my iggy salad... I’ve about 200 to 300 supers in there.....

For my BREEDING I put them in a container that looks like this and I just put a little bran/oatmeal in the bottom....(they say don’t use anything but I do and I’ve had no problems)

OH I also drilled a hole for each cubical for air in the top

I let the worms turn into pupa’s and then turn into beetles....

#1 Worm

#2 Pupa

#3 Beetle

Take them out and put them in the beetle drawer

Let them mate and after about two week I go stir up the bran/oatmeal and check for babies...I find babies I dump everything (babies & bran) in the next drawer....feed them and let them grow..

and I just keep the process going..

Oh I store my pupa container in my cookbook shelf and I’ve always had good luck getting them to turn to pupas......

And yes that is an antique toaster that was built in 1906 and yes it still works...makes the best toast....LOL

Well I hope this helps everyone who is having problems with their supers......

Is this the same process used for breeding meal worms? Also, how long does it take for them to grow from hatcheling to adult?

I use a different way to breed my mealies..I let them turn into the pupas and then I take them out and put them in a different drawer...because I did try leaving everyone together and the beetles would eat my pupas...Far as them growing well it takes a while..I’m going to say about 3 weeks before they are big enough to feed...

I have a question. Do you seperate your mealie pupa from the worms? I’ve been doing it and it seems like a waste of time. I’ve never had a pupa eaten by a mealworm, but from a beetle yes.
