[QUOTE="RedCapTrio, post: 59181, member: 4027"] Really? I don't have a psycho superworm beetle yet so that's may be it. :D I just placed them in a two-storey 10L plastic containers. The top one with wire mesh bottom and 1inch whole-grain oats substrate is the beetle/breeder container with 17 adult beetles and some pupa currently (some superworms don't successfully turn and just die in the pill boxes). I placed paper rolls and soft chunks of wood in it (cork and the like). The bottom container have wheat bran, corn starch and pinch of yeast mixture substrate. It really is amazing to see when you pile this bottom substrate into a mound and it basically move by itself and flatten again due to the movement of the small superworms. Yesterday, I put this in a strainer and removed the bigger worms and placed them into another container where I can feed them vegies and fruits. I read somewhere that this should be done every three weeks so that the bigger worms won't eat the eggs and smaller worms that dropped from the breeder bin. In three weeks time, I may have mature worms to turn to beetle from this colony already. So far so good. :) ;) [/QUOTE]
