Should I put the pupae in the beetle container? Will they be attacked by the beetles if there is adequate moisture?
I've had everything seperate. There's 1 male and 4 females in the big container and males and females in their own containers (I'm putting in 1 male for every 4 females because I heard that's the most effective combo for reducing aggression), pupae in one container that's almost full, superworms in their own compartment boxes and superworms in the last container, I have about 4 more but pupating will stop because those last few worms are too small to pupate.
I've yet to see them breed at all. I put 2 new females in the big container tonight, the temperature has been cold the last few days peaking in the early 20s to even 10 at night (which is unusual because I live in a very warm place).
Is the single beetle okay? He's been like that all day since he started moulting from pupae to beetle.
I also have these things that came with the heatpad I use for the crickets shown in the last 2 images but I don't know what they're for and the information booklet doesn't mention what they are.
