Can you specify what exactley is going wrong with your setup?
first of all in order t change them or pupate them you have to stress them or isolate them until they change, treat them just like regular mealworm beetles ater that but once they have layed wggs and the aggs have hatched into a few good sized mealworms remove them and put them into moist coconut substrate the stuff that looks like peat moss, it comes in a dehydrated brick. put them in ther and they will be fine because they need the moisture

i can get them to turn in to beetles like nothing but the problem is that they dont lay eggs, i have noticed them mating because the beetle on top has some thing coming out and going into the female on the bottom, so they are mating not just like walking over each other its just that the females arent laying eggs or they are and the eggs arent hatching so can anyone tell me how to set up the beatle container and what steps to take to see babies hatch out?
