after reading the superworm breading guide i thought it would be quite easy to do then one day i came home from work and found a "alien" in my backroom... i thought to myself hmm that be cool if i could turn it into a beetle. so i put it into a container and kept my eye on him... then a few days later i found a actual beetle in my back room! i quickly scooped him up and put him in a container and put some endive in there. he died a few days later
so i kept checking on the alien and he started to turn reddish so i knew it was going to change soon and sure enough he did so i put him in the same container as the first one. this was back on feb 18th
(pic taken march2)
feb 20th i got a bunch of containers from work and put 64 to morph...
march 2nd checked and 19 have curled and 5 died so i replaced them and dated the new containers
a bunch have shedded and are still cralwing around...
and i ran out of lids so i just stacked 5 on top of eachother with no lids.. non of these have curled yet...
so i think im on my way to superworm freedom!!! when i do have a bunch of beetles im going to cut a bottom of a tupperware container and hotglue a screen mesh and stack it on another Tupperware so the beetles breed and the babys hatch and crawl down through screen into their own safe space...
this is my bin of supers.. these are fairly new i just got them about a month ago 1000 of them
i just want to say how much i like superworms compared to crickets!! ive had supers for over 4 months and they never smell and take up way less room!! they are they way to go up here in canada eh!
