So I recently decided to set up a mealworm "farm". My mealworms are all full sized and many of them already became pupa. Problem is that none of them seem to be making it to a beetle. They survive a couple of days but then they just turn really squishy to the touch.. like really squishy. Sometimes if I try to pick it up I accidentaly do it too hard and all the inner juices come out... I'm not sure what's causing this problem either... I feed my mealworms oatmeal and carrots and I'm wondering if the oatmeal is too dry for them? I separate the pupa to mealworms in a different container and I also wondered if it was that they didn't have enough humidity so i put wet wool inside to see if it would help. Can the temperature be a factor? It's pretty cold here in Ireland especially in the night so I dont know if that affects it either
