I really appreciate your content! Thank you! I recently started small scale production at home. I have a question, my beetles layed eggs and larvae hatched. They are too small to give them potatoes yet, but should I spray the bran with water from time to time to give them source of moisture? Or will they get it from the air? Greetings from Poland ❤
I keep my environment at 50% humidity, I provide moisture to the baby trays once they are four weeks old. If you give it to them sooner, it may be helpful but they likely won't eat it all, you'll have a mold issue of you over indulge or you'll have cleanup during sifting. I'd try without moisture for the first 4 weeks and then see how your results / harvest looks.

Thank you! @@MidwestMealworms
Perhaps give them very small pieces of potato? Greeting from Germany
@@JS-hk4hc that would take time/labor that wouldn't be cost effective for me.
