A piece of cork bark in the enclosure seems to provide a great place for the mealworm beetles to lay eggs on.
I'm slowly getting to the stage of baby mealies. I have a lot of beetles running around right now though.

Mealies are real easy. I bought some mealies from grubco a year ago and still have a bunch since they've been breeding this whole time.

Re: Breeding Mealworm & Crickets
I wish I had the problem of wanting crickets to breed again. Some of my scorpion setups have a hundred pinhead crickets scattering in all directions due to ovipositors finding fresh soil before finding a set of claws to cuddle with. For the hassle .... to heck with raising them by the colony IMO. I find that if I need a supply of pinheads, I just keep the 2 dozen for the next feeding in a medium critter keeper plastic aquarium for 24 to 48 hours. Leave the soil unpacked and they will fill it with eggs. I put the setup on top of lilliths aquarium near the heat source and 2 weeks later (cant recall how long it takes its been so long) tons of wonderful little pinheads to love and cherish. I find that much easier than the constant maintenance required to keep a whole mess of them alive and breeding. I only intentionally start producing pinheads when I have a scorpion pop.
