After struggling with ordering and receiving live insects, I decided to try my luck with raising mealworms. After about a week, I was seeing tons of healthy pupaes. A few days later I had hundreds of healthy darkling beetles. I replace their food often and make sure that they have plenty of moisture. I have been keeping these guys for months with constant care, but I haven’t seen any eggs or mealworms. After a couple of weeks I sifted through the bedding and put it into another container, but no eggs or mealworms. I don’t think they could be eating them, as I haven’t seen any (and I check daily). Am I doing something wrong? I was hoping to have plenty of mealworms to feed my hungry reptiles!

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
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
