i'd seperate them so the wormis dont munch on them...

just put them in a small cup or bowl or something..
they dont eat in that stage or need bedding..

OR.you can just let them all live together.(worms/pupae and beetles..).i did that before too..

I feel like the Taco Bell dog trying to catch Godzilla





"Uh-oh, I think I need a bigger box"

There are tons of these guys in there! I was going to take out the 'old' potato, and it was full of them!

Just gave some to the buttons, so I guess I'll have to take some out to the big quail

So how many can I get away with feeding to my birds before I mess up my 'system'?

How long do the pupae take to turn into bugs, then to lay eggs, eggs to hatch, etc. etc. You see where I'm going with this
