Breeding Superworms?

DarienD Feb 29, 2008 01:16 PM

Has anyone tried this? What is the best way to breed them? How many should I breed? I have 10 adults and will have some babies and sub adults soon.

I have done it.

I don't like using supers anymore though, but if your going to, here is how I did it.

The worms won't turn into pupa unless they are cool and dark, so I took either tiny deli cups or fishing tackle boxes, and put a worm in each compartment. Then stacked the compartments in a drawer and closed it. After they turned into pupa, and then into beetles, I kept them on slightly moist coconut fiber, and fed them the same stuff I feed my small mealworms. Just repeat that process and you will have a lot in a few months.
