Super worms

How do you breed superworms. Is it just like mealies. Sorry for my ignorance.

No for superworms to pupate you need to isolate them. go out and buy a tackle box for fishing. Put some bedding in each compartment and then 1 super worm in each one. In about 2 weeks they will begin to pupate. In another 2 weeks or so they will turn to beetles. Take the beetles put them in bedding with some egg crates. After 2 weeks move them into a new container and keep doing so every 2 weeks. it takes about a month to see the little worms. I am new at it but this is what someone Ireally trust has told me. I have 100 worms in closet to pupate now.

Thanks
I only have to feed a half dozen beardies. It might be easier to but them.
