Superworms Not Eating?

Not open for further replies.
My superworms don't seem to be eating the food I put in for them, they just crawl under it and hide. I've had this order of worms for a month or two so obviously they must be eating but I'm not sure, the smaller ones aren't growing and quite a few have been dying off recently, more than usual. I feed them various fruits and vegetables a few times a week. I'm trying to breed them for the second time (the first time the beetles all died) and I don't ever see the beetles eating either. I keep them on dried out Eco Earth but I'm picking up some oats soon. Could that be the problem? I want to be sure my feeders are gutloaded before feeding them to my lizards. Thanks!

I would try the oats. I kept mine in an oat/grain bed and it worked pretty well. They'd eat that and also slices of carrot and some greens put on top for them to get hydration. Since then I've stopped using them as feeders for the most part and just let them roam around the frass of my roach bin. They seem to do well there and act as cleanup crew.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
