I've learned more from your video than I did watching a ton of others. Not only do you show and tell how to start breeding meal worms and super worms, but you give a lot of do's and don't and tips on solving problems we might encounter during the breeding process. Thanks so much for sharing. I just started breeding and I must say your information helped me so much. Thanks!
@@NORTHERNEXOTICS A good Tip is, to put a bit of Soil into that Cups, this prevents them to dry out and will speed up the process entirely, also this would happen in nature, they dig down 10-30 cm in the soil.
My beetles would not breed or make eggs for such a long time...last saturday I gave them fur decoration in their tub...the next day the fur is covered in small eggs! I could not be happier! Great video❤
I thought he kept saying "moisture sauce" and assumed it was a coloquial reptile/bug term, maybe a UK thing? 🤷🏼♀️ ...And then I realized he was saying "moisture source." Hahaha. 🤣 I ordered 1000 superworms from a local bug breeder, they're arriving tomorrow!! I'll be feeding out a bunch, but I'm totally going to start my own superworm colony. Thanks for your very helpful videos! Curious who/what is chowing down on my superworms? ...chickens! 🐔 The most doted-on backyard chickens ever.
I'm so glad i watched this video!!! I raise mealworms and black solders flys and getting ready to raise crickets. I have some superworms in 1 oz cups but didn't realize it will need more darkness, so i will find a shoebox, but i didn't know about them escaping and need a top. I was going to raise them like mealworms ! Thank you for this video!!!
Thanks for the video. I just started 2 months ago and I've been searching for additional information ever since but I never found one more informative than yours. Two thumbs up...
I have have 98% pupation rate with a black cup with a clear top and a darkened room with no dead ones. It doesn't need to be pitch black. Not disturbing them or moving them once there in the cup is also very key. Picking the biggest, longest and fattest ones increases your pupation rate. Pick the right ones and it becomes easier. If they shed in the cup and they are light colored worm they go back into the worm population. Getting them access to water right away when they become a beetle when their walking good is also good.
For the past few months I have HEAVILY watched and relied on your videos for breeding my bugs. I absolutely love your channel! Your videos have been an absolute life saver! Amazing work sir! I would love to ask you some questions if you have the time :)
I been breeding mealworms for several years but I was afraid about superworms. In the last days I been watching alot of your videos and Im starting a small superworm farm now. Thanks for the tips you´re awesome.
Thanks english dude!! I am starting to breed supers & meals for my chickens. Also, hopefully for the tomato frogs I'm trying to talk myself into. A video of yours I watched several weeks back helped tremendously. I let my supers eat for 2 weeks and put them in their containers, in a box, in a dark spot. Several are already curling up, ready to pupate.
This all makes sense on why mine failed. I actually laughed hard when you said they escaped. I stopped my farm and focused on mealworms. I have found about 6 beetles so far in the past few weeks. Most are in my tarantula enclosure. I usually just pick em out and then give it to my bearded dragon. He loves them!
Lol I love your videos! They are entertaining, funny, and very informative. I'm currently trying to breed super worms, and mealworms. I've had 2 black beetles from the supers, 1 orange/brown beetle from the mealworms, and a pupua from the mealworms. I don't think the 2 beetles have done anything, but I'm not giving up, and I'm taking every tip you have! Thank you for teaching me how to do it! ❤💋
Heya heya! It is interesting finding out what exactly happens to cause situations with the breeders. Thanks for making this video. You're getting really good with top fives. Good work. Sorry I've been missing your streams. I've actually been asleep when they are on here..I'll probably see one sooner or later. Take care and have fun!
Thanks man! So happy I found your channel. Things are getting crazy over here due to the you know what (virus) pet stores and feeder stores are closed so I’m trying to get a colony started. I got my Dubai’s and supers today and am giving them their best set up. Thank you for your advice 👌
Hi, Thanks for your tips on the do's & dont's. I live in South Africa, just some silly info. So, I just subscribed and happy to have watched your video. I have a bearded dragon and I'm going to buy myself 2x (Royal) Ball Pythons. They are beautiful! I'm getting a Axanthic and a banana ball pythons. I also breed with the Dubi Roaches & Turkistan Roaches, as well as the Mealworms & Superworms. Time +- 4:40 "While having a few tinny's talking to a few of my friends and one thing led to another, we all ended up extremely all the next day, I digress... " 😂🦎🐍🐉
Would you recommend using the honey and bran combo for worms also? Would that solve potential hydration problems? Thank you in advance, loving your videos!
I tried to breed them a while back, but once I got up to 4 beetles, every time I added a new one it would end up getting its legs torn off by the others. I did make sure they had enough food and moisture supply, but they just didnt seem to like newcomers. It was like they'd formed a cult or something. I'm finally trying again, so we'll see what happens!
Thanks for the suggestion on the increased substrate to better prevent cannibalism! Is there a general guess on how much substrate to provide for the beetle population like 1 cup of bran per beetle or something? I do make sure there's always plenty of food and water to prevent cannibalism out of desperation, but I can't help but be anxious.
hi Richard, thanks for letting me learn so much so far! there's still one thing though which i'm unsure about. If i put a superworm into a separate container and it sheds after few days, does it mean it's too young to turn into a beetle and i should put him back to the common tank with food, or just let him go through his stages of life?
I'm learning about this and one thing some videos are skipping is the idea that you have to put holes in the containers. Otherwise, the insect can't get air to breathe to stay alive. Now it may be something so trivial that most people trying this already know to do that, but I guess from my perspective as a person newly learning about this, and many videos saying "just put the superworm in the condiment container", without saying "a container that has a hole in the lid for air to pass through" , then I also don't know how many others might be using lids without holes.
I watched someone else's video and he used oat meal for food and substrate. If I dont use oat meal what do I use for substrate? I'm trying to do this cuz everytime I run our I have to drive like 45 min. To get more....ugh!
Thank you. This is most informative. Just a couple of things though; is there an optimal air humidity that we should be aiming for please? And what are the optimal day and night-time temperatures please? It's just that I use controls (for temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide) for growing mushrooms and so it's a short step to provide optimal environments for these chaps. I hope . . .
Every single thing you've said I've done for about a month there has been 3 generations so far. They keep dieing within a week and a half so I have to take the egg carton out and get them all off and make them go eat and drink. Then I replace it after theve eaten and repeat the next day.
Should they be kept in dark space at all time? How does one recognize that my worms are ready to be separated to individual boxes to transform to pupa?
I had one round of good luck with breeding last year. Since then I always get to the beetle stage, give them time to lay eggs, and then I dump that substrate into a superworm bin and give beetles fresh substrate. When I give them fresh substrate they always die right away! Any thoughts ?
NORTHERN EXOTICS well I sure hope not considering it’s just oatmeal/cornmeal that people are supposed to be eating 😂 It’s the same stuff I use for my superworms and mealworms, but for some reason whenever I changed it for the beetles they all just drop dead everytime 🙃😂
Yeah I just started mine are in the pupa stage and are getting darker by the day iv got 3 different sizes I've got regular Mealworms and I've got about 6 of the giant Mealworms by accident I forgot they were out and I've got 2 super worms that are in that last stage before becoming beetles but I put mine in containers and put them in a drawer where it's dark and warm and nothing can get in and they can't get out and I will keep them in a container with holes to breath so they can't get out and I got all my supplies at the dollar store it's perfect for starting out nobody needs a bunch of high end containers for this project we've got 6 reptile 5 are iguanas
Hi, I really like your video, I am facing a little problem with my super worm farming my beetles are eating themselves, and the pupae are turning black and dying, I don't understand if you can tell me why this is happening.
I bought 300 about 2 months ago, 3 days later I put 50 in their separate containers, forgot about them till today, and they are still alive (they’re beetles now) I’m so surprised they didn’t die.
I have just started my colony I have did it before but I have a problem in my cricket tub there is grain mite I had them before and had to kill the colony but anyway of getting rid of them without killing the colony I don't want them to spread to my superworms or my darkling beetles Im starting my superworms colony for my baby assassin bugs because I know there slot easier to keep then crickets but I have to buy crickets until my superworms have babies
Is it okay if the substrate molds? I find myself changing the substrate every month. I use oats and change the food (bell peppers) every 2 weeks. I’m afraid the mold is harmful to the super worms and further harmful to geckos
Can I have superworms and mealworms in one bin? I do not have any currently but wanted to start. Which are better to raise for food for chickens? Thank you, Eva
To be fair about that blue container if its transparent its pretty obvious the lights gonna get through even if it's tinted or colored good info in every vid tho
I had two get away in my blue tongued skink's cage. Found them on opposite sides of the tank pupated when I was doing some regular cleaning. Put them in some deli cups and I now have two beetles who want nothing to do with each other 😑
I started my farm and everything was okay until some flies or nats started showing up. I have to open the lid and manually scoop them out. Anyone know what causes this?
Question: can superworms have oranges? I’ve heard people say it’s fine but others say it’s not. I don’t wanna risk it so I haven’t been feeding oranges but I’m tempted to when it’s the only thing I have.
Do you have any idea what the humidity is in your room where you keep your farm. I have found that the biggest problem, for me at least, was keeping the humidity up in the egg containers and the beetle containers while they were laying and also the worm tubs with tiny babies. Before I started putting a lid on my tubs I wouldn't get any babies. As soon as I started covering my tubs I got babies galore. I think the eggs and tiny babies were drying out. The trick is finding the sweet spot. Too much ventilation and it dries out, not enough and it molds the substrate. You addressed this somewhat in the tiny worm tubs by grating the banana and spreading the moisture source out. I've contacted several you tubers who raise supers and most of them who say they have great success have there worms somewhere where the humidity stays between 50 and 60% naturally so it stands to reason they are having success. People see these videos and think they can keep their supers in open tubs just like their mealworms and that is fine if your humidity is high enough but if it low like mine (37% today) you might need to figure out a way to raise it. No one seems to address this issue. Still, very good tips. If your humidity is naturally higher your success rate is going to be much better and you may not even give it a second thought.
Hey please one tip,i have problem with puting new bugs in with old ones,they eat my new bugs can you please give me some tip so i dont have that problem,tnx for anwser
I wonder if I can raise the mealworms directly on chicken feed. That way they can be fed directly to my quails and chickens without me needing to sift them.
I have a question as far as feeding: do you recommend cricket cubes (like Flukers) for the superworms? Even though I have been using them for my worms for a long time (I still feed them regular veggies like carrots), a lot of people are against the processed foods for feeders.
@@NORTHERNEXOTICS Oh not at all. I prefer the veggies. I like to use the cubes especially for the tiny ones that may struggle with the banana peel or thicker fruits and veggies. Plus never had an issue with mold with them!
@snoopy dubnation By water ones you mean the orange or blue blobs? Sometimes I used them, but I found that some had an odd rotting egg smell. But good point on the cubes. Thanks!
I'm doing these all correct but I'm not getting eggs, I know they are breeding but I have seen no eggs so far! Any tips? I commented under another one of your vids with info.
Hello, I was wondering while your using those little cups with the lids, is there enough air for them to breath ? Or am I suppose to poke a little while on the lid? Thank you !
Ive got a question recently i put a cleaner crew in with my superworms but its now smelling like amonia did i do something wrong they had pleanty substrate but all of a sudden it all became a wet clumpy mess
Bro how can I make my super worm big. Mine are not so healthy. I want them to grow big. How can I do taht? plz advise me. By the way I am from Bangladesh
I literally put them in a clear bin with about 2" of oat bran, throw in carrots or other juicy veggies daily, and they turn into tons of beetles, and great superworms. I wasn't sure what the dead ones looked like, so I didn't want to throw out pupating beetles/worms. I guess when they're black, they're dead. It gets stinky sometimes, so I don't know if it's musk or dead ones, that's why I wanted to watch a vid on it.

I find that feeding apple cores and bannana peels works great and using wood grinds and eco earth for holding little humidity works great
thanks for the vid. I just got some superworms and figured I might as well learn what these mistakes are and learn from them.
Thank you very much, this will surely help me :)

Would the oats and honey combo used for wax worms also work for the morio beetles as a source of hydration?
epic needed this video
I have a bio tank with dubias and SW's they don't need a container to pupate, they will do that in substrate or egg carton.

Well they pupate even they are not in the dark i breed them outdoors no need to put in dark places

Ive got a question recently i put a cleaner crew in with my superworms but its now smelling like amonia did i do something wrong they had pleanty substrate but all of a sudden it all became a wet clumpy mess
To much humidity maybe
Would like to ask why my baby worm die-off in the middle process of growing. They just turned black hidden under the vegetable I fed them.
I am allergic to bananas does pumpkin slices work? Or lettuce
What would happen if keep them in one place and keep feeding them? Will they die simply as super worms? Or would they turn into beetles?
Bro how can I make my super worm big. Mine are not so healthy. I want them to grow big. How can I do taht? plz advise me. By the way I am from Bangladesh
Make sure that it's not meal worms your trying to grow . Meal worms and super worms are diffrent species. But a good diet. Heat and moisture and time
@@NORTHERNEXOTICS I am sure its super worm. How much time they need to grow big enough?
I literally put them in a clear bin with about 2" of oat bran, throw in carrots or other juicy veggies daily, and they turn into tons of beetles, and great superworms. I wasn't sure what the dead ones looked like, so I didn't want to throw out pupating beetles/worms. I guess when they're black, they're dead. It gets stinky sometimes, so I don't know if it's musk or dead ones, that's why I wanted to watch a vid on it.
Do tackle boxes work
I use them :) just put little holes in top.
