I have been researching about breeding superworms for my leo. I just have a few questions that i could not find the answers for and i was hoping that maybe someone here could help. 1. how long will the superworms live in a "community" setting ( i know they need to be isolated to turn in to pupa). 2. how many beetles would I need to make sure they breed (does temp matter in determining if the beetle will be male or female) 3. Will the beetles eat the eggs or can i leave them in with the eggs till they die? Thanks for any help
My girlfriend is currently on her first attempt of breeding supers, she's got I think 3 beetles now and 2 pupae (we originally had 6, one died) which will turn next week or something... We haven't got any eggs yet, but we have the beetles in a plastic drawer with sawdust, waiting for them to get to it. She knows more about the bugs than I do, so she might have a better answer than me; I can ask her later. Otherwise, you can wait for our beetles to finish, wait for someone else to reply, or conduct an experiment on your own. Good luck
i would always pick out 10 or so from every batch and just house them alone until they turned into beetles then let them live together and breed i always left everyone together in a room that got just a little lower than 80
