1) I'm replacing the baby cereal with 7-grain cereal, flax seeds, and amaranth seeds. You and I can take a trip to the natural foods store to see if they have 10-grain cereal, which will probably already include flax seeds. I still prefer to add more flax seeds than what's in the mix. 
2) Get better at chopsticks, yo. It's a lot easier for sifting through the gutload for mealworms. That's what I use to pick up the mealworms, and it only takes me all of 10 seconds to refill one bowl. 
3) I think the mealworms I gave you were already one or two molts away from pupating... so, next time I'll try to give you some younger mealworms. Or small superworms.
4) From my experience, it seems like the beetles are more interested in the fish food than all the grain-type gutload. I guess they'll have their meat even if it's by eating each other. Anyway, you only need to put a minimal amount of gutload in the beetle container. Keep in mind that you're gonna have a ton of baby mealworms in there.
5) I'm not really sure about this one. If the beetles had their way, they wouldn't be in such a small area. Then again, some types of bugs gather in swarms when it's time to mate. Just like that cloud of ladybugs I walked into that one day.
6) Show me the beetle tomorrow.
7) I don't know.
8) You know, you could've just asked me in person if you wanted to get me to talk. lol
