I use oats as both a sub and food (this is what the majority of keepers use as its a great sub for them to dig in but they can also eat it, i have been keeping them this way for years and have never had any issues) along with cricket all in one food/water/vitamin cubes as well as fruits and veggies every few days (they leave no trace). You dont have to wet the sub what so ever so nice and bone dry. When you separate a superworm it will begin to pupate (they can only pupate when they are alone) so thats what the tackle box is use for, pop in 1 in each cube of the box with a pinch of oats and after about 2 weeks they will pupate, another 2 weeks after that and they will hatch into beetles, the beetles can live between 1-2 months and will be constantly laying eggs which again after a few weeks will hatch and the cycle continues. They are very very easy to care for and cheap too, with even the most basic of set ups of just a plastic bin and some oats you get nice and healthy and FAT superworms in no time.What are you feeding them? Is it the same for both stages?
What are you using for substrate? How damp/dry are you keeping the sub?
How long does it take from starting to having baby supers?
I'd love to start breeding them myself...supers make great feeders, especially for gravid females.
