I've had my mealworms for 3 months now, 6,000 started in weekly increments of 2,000. I have lots of pupae and beetles now but am concerned about the vigor of my beetles. Many of them have no wings or just one wing and many are forever on their backs and can't get up. I do see mating and some of the beetles look great. But, alas these weird ones don't walk very fast. Maybe they are dying beetles, IDK. They are in a 20 gallon aquarium with 6 inches of bran refreshed every 2 weeks. I give them kale carrots and an occasional strawberry for moisture. Any thoughts?
