How fast do they produce and how often do you ad fresh nes?

 

[bnewns]

they reproduce constantly one beetle will lay 200 to 400 eggs during her lifetime. I usually add fresh food once or twice a week, depending how many and a handful or mash each wee.k

I'll answer the question for him. In the third photo, the large bag at the bottom is wheat bran. It's the main source of food for the mealworms and acts as the substrate that they crawl through. The beetles also lay their eggs in it. The top left container has the mealworms in it. The three large, brown ovals are potatoes. That is the water source for the worms. They will latch on to the cut surface and "drink" from it. This is vitally important, regardless of being shipped or in their container for a permanent colony. The top right container will have the beetles in it. From what I've observed, the beetles don't seem to be attracted to the water source they same way beetles are, but they still need some water. My understanding is that they also prefer laying their eggs in a protective space, so the layer in between the paper towels will be ideal for them. Either way, that collection of beetles in the second photo is underneath the paper towel.


Depending on your location, WinCo is an excellent source for the wheat bran. It's only 43c per pound at my local store. Many places, including my feed store, were twice as expensive or more.

Anyone around the north ga area know where the best place to get the wheat bran for the best price? We don't have a win co that I know of...

Would you be willing to trade a couple of adult ducks for maybe 2 kits. You could get a male and female or just males or just females. They like to breed and reproduce but if you have a coop you can eat there eggs.
