Once you put them together it’s generally right away. They are often found amongst rotting logs and leaves. If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e mail. I know you have to separate them to begin the pupa stage, but after they’ve become pupae can you put them all back together? Hi everyone.I have been breeding mealworms , forest ground roaches and superworms for years.Then stopped and started again.Now on my 2nd round of breeding superworms , i managed to get the colony going..I have it such that there are always beetles so when the old ones die , the newer ones come and replace them.Strangely after a while , my superworm beetles just decided to stop breeding.I’m not sure if its seasonal or what , but if anything , they should breed better in the Spring than in Winter..I check just about every week or so and nothing’s happening.I dont like to disturb the beetles too much , otherwise midway through mating , they will get disturbed and stop..This is the first time it has ever happened.My mealworms are on the same mat , so I dont think it could be temperature related.I hopefully dont have all males..hopefully..Any feedback would be much appreciated.Thanks..Ajay. What white aliens are you referring to? It does not have any dangerous chemicals and is nutritious i believe so I think we can use it. I gave the beetles 3 weeks to make me some ova before putting them in the new container. Males of both these species have spines on their intromittent organs that ha… Superworms have 4 stages of life: egg, larva, pupae and beetle. I know you can raise mealworms on styrofoam, they love to eat the stuff. These are probably grain mites. very glad I found this article before getting started. I think what made it work so well was the humidity and the substrate which gave them the opportunity to burrow (and to pupate, since they could be somewhat isolated). Thanks! Just get a bunch of bugs and hope for the best. As the worms in the previous substrate grow, they’re filtered out and placed in the grey stock tin, and when big enough moved to pupation cells as needed. By the time they’re exoskeleton completely hardens (this is when they are completely jet black) is when they should start laying eggs. Breeding superworms is very similar to that of mealworms but with one difference. Keep that in mind. Finally after having them all this time, around mid May, they all started breading like crazy and I now have many babies from both kinds of beetles. I sprinkle water on them weekly to provide water for the beetles to drink. In one corner I add a small piece of egg crate so the beetles have a place to gather. As far as a female going on one mating I don’t know. If so, what can I do to stop this from happening? To prevent mold just make sure air doesn’t reach it so burry it. The process from larva to pupae takes 1 to 2 weeks. I plan to spread this news because I owe the Internet for being able to feed my bearded dragons by myself so it would only be right if I let everyone else know what I learned from my studies, trails and errors. are mealworms and super-worms different species. Male and female lions pretty much share the same genetic information, but look quite different. Their only purpose is to reproduce and create more superworm larva. Can you tell the gender of the beetles(I assume they need males)? When you first place the worm in a container they can sometimes climb out. Can I use Egg trays to keep them in?? In two months, I have maybe 8 that have pupated. Just remove the beetles as they emerge so they don’t cause any problems. What could possibly be wrong? Other examples come from the bruchid beetle Callosobruchus maculatus and the dung fly Sepsis cynipsea. I think possibly my supers got cold in shipping and they are weakened, Terry, A bioactive enclosure, in a nutshell, is where there are plants in the enclosure and small bugs that clean up the gecko poop (by eating it), which breaks it down and fertilizes the plants. once i decide that it is time to dispose of a group of beetles toward the end of thier life cycle is it o.k. Will it not hurt the eggs/baby worms when you sift the beetles out? Superworms grow slowly and it can take 5 months or longer (depending on the temperature you keep them at) to become large enough to start the “morphing” process. is it better for them to have 32-35` celcius ?because thats our normal temp here in our place. When they become beetles they’ve moved into the.. Black loaf tin, where they’re kept on a substrate of fine oat meal and bran and fed slices of Bramley apple. I found using a cheap plastic tackle box works great for these guys for holding until beetle stage then I use an old cat litter box for the beetles. Then I move the pupae to another container, and finally the adults to their own substrate. I have noticed the development of a substantial amount of a whitish, soft, grainy substance on the carrots I give my super worms. How do you keep yourself from having an overabundance of superwomen without loosing your breeding colony? The three drawer system should work fine. Make sure they are the largest superworms possible. I have limited experience breeding super worms but every time I kept the beetles in grain gutload they died pretty quickly. You most likely won’t see it or see the babies for a while. Paper egg cartons are placed in the boxes. When the beetles first emerge they are a little sluggish. I have to grow it in an artificial medium. The beetles will lay their eggs in the creases, the eggs will hatch and the baby worms will wiggle down into the bottom bin then. I have a little problems about how the diet effects the ratio sex of insect? What prevents you from using water crystals from start to finish? This is their third stage of life. How long do the Beatles live? Can you tell me whatkind of bedding I can use besides wheat bran. If so what do you do with the extra? Adult beetles can live up to 5 months with a female laying nearly 500 eggs in her lifetime. Add about 1 inch of wheat bran or a pre-made gutload to the bottom of the container. Hi! I will be planning to run my own personal web site even so consider its too general and I have to focus more about smaller issues. For even larger larvae and the adults I give large chunks of potato or whole carrots–again, there’ll be extensive burrowing, so when it comes time to toss out the food, make sure you evict any hidden occupants, but you don’t have to put in a replacement for a week or more. how high? Then how often do I change out the beetles when laying eggs to grow the Larva or Super worms. They’re very slow growers, even with a heat mat helping them along. They do fine. thank you so much for this article. Many pupae are getting black and die. I have had no issues with mites/moths/mold so far. I managed to find out from another website that they will live as larvae for 6 months to a year. After several days the worms will become dormant and begin curling to a letter “c” or “e”. I’m going to give it a try for my bearded dragon lizard. You’re welcome! No one says which Darkling beetle is used for the super worms, as they are not the same Darkling to breed the smaller mealworms. Accept the fact that there will be some moths around but they won’t get into your food. The beetles are the adult form of the superworm. What I do is leave the containers alone for a few days after the beetles have been removed. I’d imagine at least a few months. We also open the box and let it air out at least once a day. The female beetle is larger. The Pyrex dish is used occasionally with a mesh mealworm feeder to filter worms and debris from the tins. I may have started out with 45 superworms beetles but I’m getting a lot more of the babies then I expected it to be. The eggs rarely fall through since the beetles stick the eggs to surfaces, they aren’t loose. I have noticed though that the smaller beetles tend to have a shorter lifespan. The worms were fine but I could never seem to get the beetles to lat more than 2-3 weeks. Male and female beetles, examined 11–12 days postinfection, were shown to exhibit a significant decrease in activity and photophobic behaviour. This pioneer study with foliar samples of Eucalyptus grandis, located off the coast of New South Wales (Turner and Lambert, 2007) is based on multiple regression, analyses of the age (dependent variable) to be analyzed in terms of nutrients (independent variables) such, as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium. The breeding, though, has been too successful: the beetles and worms chew up everything including the cork bark, styrofoam background, and, as I noticed last night, one of the gecko’s tails! I’m guessing beetles live about a month or so (Beatles, on the other hand live anywhere from 40 years [John Lennon] into their 70’s). Are cucumbers okay to use? They are dark in the front and back and larger but require nothing special. I’m raising super worms and doing good but what I need to know and what ages can I put the superworm babies together with adult worms I was a 29 gallon tank to keep my adult worms in?? If you see mites, you’ll have to change the bedding and wash down the enclosure again. Cody, I loved the idea of using film cannisters to try and force pupation, so I had a bit of an adventure today; I thought you’d find this to be an interesting read! My husband keeps our house fairly cool. I have an important information to share n my article , the reference of that is a news article. I’m now looking around for a bigger container of some kind to separate my adults super worms beetles, like I did my meal worms and their babies. They have a special bacteria that creates an enzyme that breaks down plastic and they can absorb the carbon from it. Same size as film canisters with snap on lids. I use a mix of wild bird seed, brown rice, and rolled oats, which will absorb the potato moisture more slowly and be less likely to be invaded by fungus or bacteria. The males have a clear window shaped like a trapezoid. It is a mold, just like when a bread is expired. I keep about a hundred beetles in a dishpan size container with a bran / egg mash bedding. Can’t get much cheaper than that! I kept them in one of those plastic aquariums, type of thing that you would put mice or hamsters in. Do you just let them keep breeding regardless? They’d all turned to adults by mid Dec., and I did the first “sifting” Christmas Day. Notify me of followup comments via e-mail. This will provide moisture for the newly hatched babies. hi may i ask where to put the apple and when? Beetles don’t fight, they do well in groups. I have a pregnant mouse about to have some pinkies for him but that is not a constant supply. … any thoughts? The beetles and the superworms generally prefer darker areas. I have four adult beetles now one is reddish and the other black. They should be kept in a substrate of powdered grain so they can eat and you can sift them out to feed them to the geckos. Some smaller ones may not be as willing to pupate because they are not ready. I have carrots, sliced of potatoes, and celery in their bin. My question is: Does the beetles bite? Are the fruits or veggies supposed to be food for the beetles and babies? I’m definitely looking forward to breeding my own farm of Superworms for my hungry little man, is there by any chance a faster way to reach you other than this current forum? It may take awhile, but, if it’s working, eventually when you look really closely at the substrate you will see tiny things moving. due to their larger size, superworms are great alternatives to Once the beetles have gone from brown to black, feed them and provide moist food, then wait for them to mate In my experience with both mealworms and superworms, the eggs seem to be pretty resilient and you should go ahead and dump to your heart’s content. A layer of peat moss in the bottom of the box helps maintain moisture levels. I have not found any way to sex the beetles as they all look identical. Once I found out that the wood heat was speeding up the process I place them all in the living room. With regards to the egg cartons the answer would be no. I wonder if there’s any chance the beetles are eating the eggs or the babies. So glad I found this site and I hope everything pans out. I have no idea how long the females carry eggs because, buried in their substrate, the whole thing is kind of mysterious. Help! I don’t see any eggs and definitely not any worms. Finally…I’VE GOT WORMS! For the babies I keep the temperature around 78 degrees Fahrenheit. I was in the reptile business about a decade ago and I had issues with the superworms eating through the plastic tops to the containers I got them in at the store I owned. I have some web-like material in with the baby superworms (which have been separated from the beetles). 2-3 weeks you’ll have beetles. Great information! I just want to ask, what will happen if I’m not able to maintain a temperature of 70 and above? Are they like other insect species and only good for a one off and then die or do they last longer? I find wheat bran or a commercial gutload to be the best bedding but you can also use chicken mash or oats. I don’t know exactly how they are able to survive in the wild but they are able too. I think I’m familiar with that! This has prevented me from getting pantry moths and grain mites and doesn’t seem to have any negative effects on the roaches. As for the pantry moths. To breed fruit flies peel a banana and leave it on your kitchen counter. they obviously come with the meal you use which mine is a combo of oatmeal wheat germ and wheat bran, im about to give up on raising the worms because pantry moths can be devastating to your own food supply. Isolating the full grown larvae encourages pupation, though. I feed them wheat bran then almost any fruit or veggie. If this was the first container you started there are usually small numbers. I have changed beetles several times now so they won’t eat any possible eggs. I’ve spent hours trying to separate substrate from worms and usually sift then spend hours with tweezers picking out worms. Hopefully you can refine your search and find what you want. but I usually throw all that in the trash. No, the beetles will not be able to get out and they do not fly. I can’t keep changing all the veggies every day. My first beetles are a couple of months old now. How do u tell the difference between male and female beetles? Andrew, I’m not sure what a Bulk Barn stocks but things like bran, oats and wholegrain cereal are all suitable. I have had my Beetles breeding for a very long time it seems. What type of fish do they eat, hey james, sure thing as soon as i get a camera. Lately my beetles have been dieing within a couple of weeks. Thank you! And here is where my progress stops! Thanks!! There is no way to chemically treat or get rid of a pest bug without killing the superworms as well so it’s best to just start over. Offhand I would imagine that they need more hydration so they go for the water source. do i disturb their development??? They are great for young Dragons. Specifically, more male beetles occurred on the uninfective bait than on the infective bait. My dollar store also has plastic containers, shoe-box-size for $1.00. Female beetles are larger than the males and lay approx. I’m flattered. Join ResearchGate to find the people and research you need to help your work. In case anyone is interested in what other sales opportunities might be available for a mealworm breeder: #3–Science (used by researchers and school science departments); #4–Food (entomophagy/bug-eating is a growing interest, and we in the West are really the only culture that doesn’t regularly and extensively consume insects; just be careful of allergies, just like with shelfish); #5–beneficial insects (not so much with the mealworms and roaches, but as long as you’re already raising *these* insects…); #6–Preserved Specimens (for collectors and, again, Science). How long do worms kept together live? Or do you wait for all the beetles to die before you put the eggs in with all the larva? It will take about 2 weeks for the eggs to hatch at temps in the mid to upper 70s. The beetles do not need light, and seem to prefer darkness, but should be kept at 70 - 80 degrees to encourage breeding. LOL. Once they turned into adults there was no breeding going on what so ever until about mid May when the weather started warming up and staying more often. After weeks of beetles being together in Bin 1, I moved them into a Bin 2 hoping for larvae to appear in Bin 1. P.S. They have a short, sturdy horn on their head. They are now being moved to their own coco fiber enclosure. It could also be moisture. They are housed in 59 quart plastic boxes, available from Walmart and other stores. i’ve done research on meal worm and found out that they do eat dead leaves,plants,animals,in the wild i trying old leaves for the meal worms to eat because they do eat dead things they seem to love it now i cant find out where to go to find out if super worms can eat the same thing as far as dead leaves so i can save myself alot of money theres dead leaves everywhere free do you know if i can use dead leaves for superworm to. Take the super worms out of the gut load to the extent possible (this may mean giving up on some of the babies initially) and freeze the gut load –I think this will kill the moths and eggs, but you should probably do some googling to be sure. Male and female beetles can be distinguished from one another by several methods. Do they have dangerous mandibles? I use a medium sized rubbermaid container that has three drawers. Make sure that the container is not very moist or humid because that brings in pest bugs and mold. Dear Houda I haven't any idea but I follow you discution. Or do they end up putting nasty things in the soil? Any thoughts for why this is happening? Lately some have started the pupating process even though they are kept together. Thanks for the information! Breeding leopard geckos is relatively easy and rewarding. I breed Dubia Roaches for my cham and frilled dragon. I did google it and was led to this page. About every 2 to 4 weeks (depending on how many beetles you have in one container) remove the beetles from the bedding and place them in a fresh container as described above. of worms from pet shop but only 20pcs survive they ate each other then start the breeding process i put them separately in an ice tray with cover only fifteen hatches others die but they continue preying its other now i only have about 6pcs last night i saw them mating they are already 1 month as bug how could i know if they already lay eggs so that i can put them again in another container for them to lay eggs i use rice bran as substrate and laying mash feed. I lined them all up to make a ‘honeycomb’ and used some string on the mesh to hold them all in place. Yeah, mealworms – yellow mealworms, specifically – are “Tenebrio molitor”, while superworms/giant mealworms/etc. this mite sound stupid but can you keep the lids on the film containers?? just would like to ask, how long will it take for the eggs to hatch? It looks like dogs doing the deed. I keep all my adult beetles separated from their babies and beside my bed to observe they’re behavior vary closely. Do you let them die out or do something else? Seems like this guy is using your words and images. I would get a long but not tall sterilite container like a 17 gallon and line the bottom of it with the 2 oz cups. What worked really well was when I was breeding super worms in my bioactive enclosure. Now I’m breeding them in my gargoyle bioactive enclosure and it’s working really well. They love oranges, apples, carrots, watermelon, canteloup, and bananas. I didn’t have to separate mine. I just separted my first batch of beetles out of the container which “should” have the eggs in it. Hi , instead of sifting , you could just take the beetles and and put into another container thats all set up.Then you just keep the first container aside , just putting a moisture source every week , and leave it out of the way.After a few weeks ,when the worms are big enough , drop them into a big tub where all the big worms are and go on like that.
