Mealworm breeding Query

Recommended Posts

Heya I have some mealworms here that I was hoping to get breeding to go towards being food for my incoming beardy.

Only problem is they've reached their beetle stage and all the seem to be doing is hiding.

I remember when I used to breed them for frogs a few years back they would always be active and running about whenever I looked.

With these ones you wouldn't even know there is beetles with how well they hide.

There's plenty of carrots for them to nibble and get moisture from, even put in a bit of apple to try luring them out.

Maybe they're too cold?

Would be nice to know what others in NZ do with theirs.

Cheers :)

P.S. I will share some awesome new beardy baby pics with you all when he/she arrives :bounce:

:P

Yeah, agree with the previous posts. I put mine in small plastic drawers with several layers of cardboard on top, inside the hot water cupboard. I think the higher temp makes them slightly more active, but I generally don't observe their behaviour haha. All I know is that they crawl around and my mealworm supply never runs dry. :lol:
