Hey guys! So, I have started to make a colony as of a month ago. I finally got three beetles and put them in their own section. I added cotton balls (Nov 10th).. GUESS WHAT I FOUND IN THE COTTON BALLS TODAY! BABY FREAKING WORMS! I did it! Now, I took the beetles out of the section and put them in a new section. But, what do I do to maintain that section that has the baby worms. How do I keep them alive and thriving! I AM SO EXCITED.
Theyr'e easy to care for, put them in a plastic shoe box [ or anything similar ] and add about an inch of oatmeal or bran. Add a small chunk of any of either potato, sweet potato, or carrot. Every once in a while you can add a small handful of greens. Then just check once in a while to be sure the veggies aren't getting moldy but that rarely happens. Don't put a lid on, they can not crawl out and a lid can cause humidity + mold .
That's great, superworms are easy to care for. As suggested, use a bedding for them
because they like to burrow. Always keep potato, apple or carrot in there for them so
they have moisture.
