Hello

I set up 1000 adult mealworms in plastic bin with
Gerber powdered baby foods,oatmeal, whole wheat flour, bran and ground up dry dog kibble and add potatoe or carrot for moisture.

They are doing very well and now lots of beetles.

Should the beetles be removed or can the whole life cycle take place in the bin without larvae being eaten.

I ask as have no babies but not sure if to soon for babies or beetles are eating them.

Thank you
