All three are different species, but raising them should be close to identical.
I can only speculate as the info is still confidential from the few who do breed.
Both mini and standard and Superworms are larvae of a Darkling beetle but are different species. So care should be close but not identical per-say. I know Superworms have to be stressed to molt into beetles Mealworms can be refrigerated to slow the process and I don't know about mini's other than like Super's they can't be refrigerated.
My best suggestion would be to start with your current process with a small grow and see what works...
Good Luck
