    The only difference in their husbandry is separating the larvae in order for them to pupate. I used tray organizers like you would find in craft or fishing stores. The ones with removable dividers. I also found a covered container was helpful. I used large litter pans for my mealworms with no problems. Using the same pans with superworms, I began to find larvae near our cat food two rooms away. Other than that I kept them in identical conditions.

    Pretty much the same set up I used. I used potatoes a lot. I would halve them and leave the skin on. Not sure If your using a lid, but your containers sides should be smoother than the litter pans I was using.

    Yeah, the litter pans I had been using had a slight, almost non-existent texture. I guess it was just enough for them. I have seen others use lidless set ups.

    I just set mine up last night in a used cake plastic container. :D
    I have a 'craft bead box' for pupating. I'll move some into the container tonight!
