- Breeding superworms Vs breeding mealworms. Which is best well in this video we tell you the pros and cons of both breeding superworms and breeding mealworms. The hardest part about breeding superworms is turning the superworms into superworm beetles ,once you've turned or pupated your superworms into darkling beetles then the superworm breeding can really start to begin. However breeding mealworms can be very simple and easy but also very cheap. Mealworm breeding farms are easy to build.

My question is how do you even get super worms?
I just have regular
I have mine set up beetles on top, baby worms then pupae on bottom.. I’m making a good many worms but would I do better changing it to like your setup?
@@clevelandbrowns3622 petco.. I accidentally let a container get too warm (they won’t turn into pupae or beetles if kept in the fridge) so I started with 8-10 little pupae (kinda molts and looks like a big maggot) and now I’m making enough worms for my gecko and dragon after just a few months
I know this video is months old but if you want a large supply of mealworms, separate the pupae and beetles. When the beetles emerge they'll eat the pupae since they're so moist. I have a very large, very successful colony and this has helped a ton. Also, I'v heard grain mites can kill an entire colony. I haven't seen it but just a tip, microwave your oats (and let them cool) before putting them in. I thin abut 2 minutes for a cereal bowl sized amount. Works like a charm I've never had grain mites.
Great tips
Thanks darling 😁
@äpplet 1234 yes
How long do you microwave the oats for
It's crazy that microwaves are legal in America.
Your breeding insects videos helped me so much. I reccomend them everywhere!
Thank you kondly
Maybe you should like this video, so other people can enjoy it too :)
I've been here since this channel was quite small and i can definitely tell you the quality of your videos has increased a lot not just in terms of the 4k graphics but also the actual content is informative well worded, planned out and useful and I've learned a lot keep it up.
You're videos are always great thanks again from columbus ohio ..USA
Thank you kindly
You are really becoming one of my favorite channel at a rapid rate. So much useful knowledge! Thank you so much
this place i stop by everytime i need information.
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.
It's all easy to understand - straightforward, no big fuss.
I got interested, just by watching your video.
Please allow me to share a few thoughts: Dusty - please wear a facemask at any time when doing this sorting stuff.
If you don't like the mask, do a little fine misty spraying, just before the sorting. That should keep the dust under control.
I saw some Chinese doing similar work, and they've managed to time the feeding up against the lifecycles of the worms so well, so when it's time to sort out the little buggers, food is almost out - and nothing left to create dust. Just sharing..
Cheers mate
Im subbed and even one of the rare times i clicked the all notifications bell too.
Thanks for being a subscriber
Gotta say mate, love your videos. I learned everything I needed to know about breeding Dubia roaches from you and starting my own colony. I wish I had a free heat source like you but hey the set up is pretty nice with a heat mat so can't complain. Anyways cheers for the information.
Thanks for watching
Of course mate, I watch all the vids you put out. Hoping one day I can get my hands a T5 Luminere light fixture setup.
one thing I’d like to know more about is “gut loading” what the best things to feed your beetles, worms, roaches etc to get more nutrients into your lizards
I just put the superworms in af pot of dirth, then the dig Down an pupper in the dirth and come up when they are beatle’s 🤗 for water sorce, i just use a cleaning sponge and make it wet. Easy peasy.
Keep spreading your knowledge! Great video. Exactly what I had been looking for. I'd send you pics from start to finish but I don't know the best way to get that to you.
Thank You!
I love these types of video richard
Thank you kindly :)
@@NORTHERNEXOTICS inbox me bud on Instagram
I start a mealworm farm I buy 2 boxes I feed them whit berry’s and lemons and bread the lemon is very good for the smell and they like it.
what is the biggest cause of german caterpillars to die of sluggishness at the age of 1 month and how to deal with it. thanks for the answer
FINALLY!! THATS WHAT IM WAITING FOR!!!! VERY WANT TO KNOW WHO WILL WIN!!!!!
okay so how long does it take inbetween each molt. its getting a little bit exspensive, so i wanna know if its worth it.
also amazing channel your so personable!
Aww thank you. Supers take about 10 Weeks egg to adult mealworms about the same time
When breeding mealworms do the eggs fall through that screen mesh on them tubs u made on the vid u made about breeding mealworms?
I used to breed like that 18 months ago. Now this way is just easier
The tip about the food scraps don’t put super juicy food in there you things like potatoes and carrots And apples because if its juicy stuff it’s going to make it’s wet and get moldy and gross
Fantastic video!
Hello, you've said that the meal worms are only sometimes used as food, due to the nutrition value. If you know, then can you tell me which insects have the best value? Thank you
Give the worms a little tiny mist before you put them in the oatmealTo get rid of the mites just sterilize your oats by putting in the oven at 200 or 230 for 20 minutes and make sure they’re caught off before you use them it will kill all the mites
Amazing....
Thanks buddy cheers Ricky 💃🕺💃🕺🎶🎵🐈⬛🎸🦃🐓👌🍀😎👀🎈🦍
hi there, just discovered you, great vids. ive heard you mention the ihs doncaster show and was hoping you could tell me if their are many carpet python breeders there? thiking of going in april
There are diffrent breeders all the time. In November's show there was a few
I've gut loaded my adult super worms and separated in a dark space but they wont pupate they curled up into a c but after three to four weeks and haven't changed any advice?
Are you checking on them regularly? That was an issue I had . Always checking on them is adding light into them for a split second can start the process over again
another banger
Thanks bud
Put a couple small holes in the cup with the lid so they can breath.
Hi there
Love all your vids brilliant
Have you had any problems with mites in with super worms and meal worms ?
If you have how have you prevented this from happening again
Or grain mites I think is the actual term from oats ect
Hope you can help
Kindest Regards
Dave Lloyd
Ive done it your way and had more dead worms and lost money. So I bought a plastic drawer system like yours but on a grand scale. I put them in there with oats, and wheat bran, and Timothy hay to cover the substrate. In several weeks time I had lots of pupae and huge Beatles. I then picked out the pupae and Beatles and put them in separate drawers and they bred like wild fire. No special cups. So the other thing I do is I cross breed my large mealworms with the superworms yup, and I get blonde smaller superworms cause some people are overwhelmed by the aggressive nature of superworms. They have stingers much like scorpion and they whip that hind end at you and ouch!! The mealworms are much more docile and then the superworms that are bred with extra large mealworms are much easier to handle and the bearded dragons eat them much more th superworms.
You need to microwave the oats or wheat bran for several min to kill the bugs. Or you can put the oats in the freezer overnight. Kills everything and no infestation of grain bugs..
Can your animals eat The grain mites??I also heard that you can bake your meat in the oven for a little bit before you put it into the container and it will kill all the bugs and eggs and stuff
Chickens can…. But when left in with meal worms, they ate em up
Good day where can us buy superworms superiors in South Africa?
Hi, what would be the way to make zophobas fatter, mines are not so fat as I've seen in other videos. Thanks
would you say they make good pets ?
It is suggested to microwave the oats for about 20 seconds to kill off the mites in the oats.
Give thaus mealwo'm a Bo' o' o' wa a' 😂 💦
Do you mix honey/syrup in with the oats
Super worms are probably dying because they don’t have any more air in that container and it didn’t look like they had food either but I’m not done a video I wonder if he put them in an egg carton they would separate them selves to pupate
It's like there twins , but the difference is the one is bigger
And supers are healthier
Am slowly building up my set up of dubia, meal worms and super worms. Good watch
Is there anyway of contact you about leapord gekos.
What would you like to know about leopard geckos
@@NORTHERNEXOTICS I have a male geko well I think it's is I want to breed him how soon can I breed them and to introduce a female to him
I went to the garden centre for some mealworms for a tame robin in our garden and the man gave me buffalo worms. Never heard of them before. He said they like them more than the mealworms. Are the buffalo worms better than the mealworms? Thank you.
Can super worms eat mango peels?
I’m reading super worms and meal worms they’re all in the same tub with potting soil and a special lid on top because Beatles will get out of the container
How to keep fruit flies away from their container sir?
Don't let there food go bad. Ie I use a banana peel but I'll only leave it there 2 days then replace it
@@NORTHERNEXOTICS thankyou
Maybe stick to egg cartons becauseShoeboxes could have a lot of toxic ink on them if you care... I would also think the better food you fed them so maybe throw in some extraBesides just banana I mean you’re going to throw it away anyway
Thank you for all the details and explanations you’re very smart except for when you’re using to see if you’re very stupid put a mask on LOL
Never use oats, use wheat bran, way better and safer for both mealworms and super.
Just my opinion... I like Superworms Because they are 3x Bigger, More attractive in appearance and The Beetles again are much more Attractive from a Pet kind of stance!!!
When you're gonna do a breeding crickets 2020 video.
The 2019 video was made late 2019 so that info is still relevant in 2020 . Until I have any new knowledge arrises that video will still be relevant :)
I hate beetles I think I will just stick to wax worms 🤣
can the Beatles fly?
No
Mealworms are easier to breed
When i sift mine I wear a mask
Why is this video lit poorly?
Is your thumbs up/down working?
It is :)
@@NORTHERNEXOTICS It doesn't show any numbers next to it
So much blabla for so few content
As for the dust why don’t you just use oatmeal or something less dusty and put a mask on everyone has a mask these days
Exactly that’s what I was thinking😅 cause that’s what I use when I get them
While talking, show the practical work. I don't want your face almost covering all the video.
