How to keep superworms

[Mwilliams32931]

Right now I don't have my own colony since my beardie just started eating them. Instead of me running to the pet store numerous times during the week I just want to buy a large batch and keep them at the house. What is the best way to do that?

I keep mine in a large (I think?) critter keeper with about 3-4 inches (should cover them and have some extra space) of a mix of chicken mash, oats, bran and corn meal. I give them some hard veggies for moisture/extra food every couple days. (Carrot, potato, squash or asparagus).

Asparagus, I never thought of that. Is it because they hold moisture well?

They were 99cents for a bunch, so I got them to "just because" to be honest. But I'll keep getting them again when they go on sale, they stayed fresh quite a while. They are pretty juicy and the supers are them up, roaches too. I prefer to give nutritious food/water when possible and carrots and potatoes seem so empty.

Asparagus... That is such a good idea. I may have to pick some up on the next trip to the grocer. I've been meaning to try a pickled asparagus recipe I've had for ages.
