I'd do a mix of all that, similar to what insects find outside. Now, I wonder if they'll lay eggs and make new mealworms? You might never need to buy mealies again!!! You have got to keep us updated on this project!

I'm crazy. I now have set up a tank for beetles that I bought to feed to my gecko

Oh well. The setup consists of a area to climb, a feeding area, and, just incase, a egg-laying area. This is a pic of the old container inside the new one.

This is the setup right after I put The Beetle Crew in.

A few members of The Beetle Crew.

These two Beetle Crew members found a carrot I had hidden under the egg-laying place(for babies) ,dug it up, and proceeded to eat it!

Forgot to post pic!

These are easy, a friend of mine raises them, and I did once upon a time as well! They'll eat any vegetable matter, try throwing an old carrot in there or a potato, even an apple...whatever you have on hand basically! If you have some bran flakes cover them with that and you'll quickly have your own breeding colony of mealworms

lol you just made a free way of getting your own mealworms for your reptiles the tank looks awesome

[Tutu]

Aw I hope it'll work out for you. You can literally start beetle farm and sell your ethical and locally sourced product for fellow reptile owners. Hehehehe
