Okay great thank you! I'm glad they aren't dead, I just found it odd some were moving and some weren't at all even when I touched them...HYPORollo":67035 said:lol i dont believe they are dead lol i breed them and alot more other feeders and i can tell you they didnt die that quick right now i have 500 supers in seperate cups and they have been in there today makes two weeks on the day and yesterday night after getting home from the tampa show which means last time i checked was friday with no change and lastnight i had about 65 change into the white alien looking phase (pupae) lol and about 12 have died so far and some are still moving around and some are curled up in a c shape or s shape which is what they do right before they turn white and alien looking it usaly takes 2 weeks for that morph and then once morphed it usaly takes another 2 weeks to get beetles once they are beetles they live up to and around 5 months with the female laying up to 500 eggs in her life time so to answer your question with 16 to 20 larva expect to loose a couple but most will make it to beetles then you should have a good number of females and you will have more than enough eggs and larva for the numbers you are looking for lol you want to keep them around 77 degrees f and really shouldnt have any problem other than time and one tip try and use the biggest supers possible they say they have to be 2 inches but i have few smaller and they have turned to pupae so just go with the biggest i hope i was able to help out if you have any other questions just let me know ill help out as much as i can good luck
I just started today, so they're all still supers. But I think a few might be dead from lack of air...Twobeardieguy":67035 said:What died the supers, pupae or beetles?
The light trick seemed to work on oneHYPORollo":0299c said:lol cute nail trick i used a few times my self in the past its quick and easy but supers and mealies alike go into a sorta sleep when cold as well so if its a cool place that might be it just take one out you suspect might have gone to the light (if supers have a after life)and warm it up a little and it should start moving if not then you might be a super killer bad girl lol no biggie just pop another one in there and start over make sure they are in a dark spot and leave them alone as much as possible check in a couple of days by then any that are dead will start turning black in color starting with the head area but with enough air and in a dark place with a nice temp you should be ok and have beetles in about a month or so
