I'm trying my hand at breeding superworms. I've bred mealworms...but this is my first shot at superworms, and already I've found a problem after 2 days. I read that you have to seperate the worms for them to become beetles, so I got some little hobby organizers and set up each beetle in its own compartment on a bedding of Gerber single grain rice baby cereal and a small piece of potato. Each section the worms are in is about 1 1/4 inches by 2 inches and an inch tall. They're filled about 1/3 to 1/2 with the cereal. Each slice of potato is about 1/5 the size of the compartment and about 1/4 inch thick. I set them up yesterday afternoon, and this morning, the bedding has solidified. Some only solidified half the bedding, while some solidified completely. It has about the flexibility of rubber. Is there anything that can prevent this? or am I best with just changing the bedding every day? Any help will be appreciated.
