Superworm Project - Raising Zophobas morio as pet beetles

Image
 Goal: Rear superworms, successfully pupate and hatch adult beetles to keep as pets Why: I've never kept beetles before, and I've never had mealworms or superworms as feeders for anything. This will hopefully be an easy way to get started with beetles. I hope to one day breed some of the pretty pet beetles species. I have 30 living larva, and I put them into a mix of coir and the meal they came with. They have small pieces of carrot to eat. By next week, I want to separate the largest babies to put them into isolation so they will pupate. I'm going to put them into individual containers in a drawer.
