I successfully morphed superworms into beetles the second week in april I believe. It is now May 20th and I still dont see any baby worms! Half of the beetles have died already, the other half are extremely healthy, very active and breeding like crazy! I have them on a rolled oat substrate with egg flats and fresh fruit and/or greens every other day or so. I had to place the bin on a heating pad set on low because the bin wasnt getting warm enough. I dont know? I would have thought I would see baby worms by now! I guess the trial and error thing applies even after you FINALLY morph them. They definitely arent the easiest insect to breed Goodluck! Lindsay
ps. I am beginning to think the beetles are hunting down and eating the baby worms? At this time I dont have enough room to seperate them from the container. I think next time I will move them after a couple weeks and see if it makes a difference.
