Breeding Supers--I think I'm doing something wrong...

[gtramontelli]

Hi folks,

I'm about 2-3 months into my super breeding project. I have supers pupating, successfully turned a bunch of them into beetles, and now I have about 20-30 adults in a breeding container with my food/substrate and a potato in there. They have plenty of egg crate to crawl around on. Anyway, I don't seem to be getting any babies...I have left the beetles with substrate for 2 weeks or so, removed/replaced the substrate, and 2 weeks later still no little supers. I've done 2 batches this way. Does it take longer than 2 weeks for superworm eggs to hatch?
