Mealworm breeding...

ArcticWolf3049 · May 18, 2020

Hello!!
I got my beardie 4 days ago,
I decided that instead of going to the pet shop constantly for only crickets and not mixing my beardies diet of insects that I was gonna start a mealworms farm, Plus my brothers are gonna get leopard geckos soon... And they eat mealworms too, So I was wondering.... How do I properly breed mealworms?

I would suggest some youtube videos so you can see peoples setups. It's really quite easy.

The jist of it is, let some worms turn to beetles. keep the beetles in a tub for a month or 2, then remove the beetles and put them in a new tub. The old tub will be full of eggs and they will eventually hatch. Then just keep repeating the cycle.

You want to remove the beetles from the bin after awhile because the beetles will eat the eggs and the baby mealworms, especially if they are lacking moisture in their diet.

Thanks for the tip!!
I did hook up on some YT vids but for some reason when I put my brand new mealworms in the box they have just sat there for awhile, I thought they were still frozen or something but after some time (24 hours) I looked again and some were still not moving!! The only time they moved was when I touched them.... What do I do?!?
