it is up. the blog for my longimanus and their captiv ebreeding program.
have a look see.

Longimanus captive breeding program

just came back from town and got my self 2 large clear containers with seal able lids. and 100 super meal worms.
just want to ask"am i doin it right?"

u going to breed them or temp storage ???

depends.
if the scorps are eating them faster then they could breed then temp storage. if the scorpions are not eating them then breed.

got to go. they are going to open a store that haven't been open for some time.
wan to see got what animals inside.

goodluck sam,

but I have to say mass even for mass production, the key to successful breeding is patience,

I mean big one!

btw so far I have yield only about 15+- baby zophobas morio for about 40++ beetle sacrificed.

some picture to share:









btw I u should know that the they should be kept in dry condition, no need to mist at all, provide moisture only via potato, that's what I did.

aros, ur using coco fiber as the substrate. i have observed that meal worms like to burrow. the shop keeper said to me i can use oats as the substrate because they will eat the substrate. and she also told me don't give to much moisture or they will die.

any tips on breeding them?

Whether u wan2 use coco fiber o nt is up2 u
It doesnt do any good to me imo
I use organic oats as substrate and feed vege and potato occasionally and i have plenty of babies
Juz separate the pupa from the worms cause they often eat the pupa if leave it there too long

to breed basically u separate the supers first, let it become beetle.

Once you come to that stage only it will be relevant for me to explain the next step because if I do now, you will probably forget.

it takes more than a month to turn into a beetle.

Oat expensive gilak!

nice !!!!

Dun use scientific name for mealworm because its easier to type mealworm
Ya mine is mealworm
But i got some superworms too long time ago

so thats how u guys get mealworms babies.. i've trying again and again.. used moist coco peat and nothing produced. Just make them dead.. Not i might just change it to dry one.. got 5 beetls already

Rule of thumb when rearing mealworm is to make the enclosure as dry as possible
Provide moisture by vege or potato
But my way is let them cannibalis each others

i can see 6 scorplings now.... .. thats y she burrow really deep into the substrate this morn.. was kinda clueless what shes doing.....
