My meal/superworm setup

[tyrant963]

This is my setup

By the way these are my pupating boxes for the Mealies and Supers!!

I was also wondering for breeding Superworms are the little isolated sections good enough or what adjustments could be made to allow the Supers to pupate better?
I have had Supers in those sections for many weeks and i have not had one pupate yet?
What am i doing wrong?

My question is how long does it take for a pupae to turn into a beetle?

geez... the pictures that you loaded were huge!
anyway, temperatures set the rate that your pupae grows.
btw, that is a very nice setup you got going.
I would keep things dry and only offer a piece of fruit or veggie once or twice a week.
also be sure to give them a lot of ventilation. when you have a lot of mealworms, they are going to be using up more oxygen and a lack of ventilation (this leads to a lack of oxygen), will kill them.
keep them moist will also kill them and cause a MAJOR mites PROBLEM!!!
keep them on about 2"-3" of rolled oat and throw in a few dog kibble for protein.

good luck

So the warmer, the faster the pupa will turn into beetles?

right on. so around 85 F and they'll grow super fast, but then again, their lifespan would also be shorter. their metabolism speeds up.
exactly or almost like preying mantids
