    You answered your own question. Just do the opposite of what your thread says dummy.

    Step 1- Get a bunch of dixie cups.
    Step 2- Put one superworm in each cup.
    Step 3- Beetles.

    I have kept superworms as worms for a year.
    If you want them to pupate you nees to seperate them. Put one worm in a pill bottle size conatainer with dirt, it will soon pupate. Once its a beetle then you can put the beetles together to breed.

    Re: I just read super worms wont turn into Beatles if they are kept as a group?

    bout how long will it take for them to pupate? (i picked out the fattest ones in my bunch)
    Also should i just feed the beetles the same thing as i feed the worms?
    And do mealworms need to be separated?
    One more question.... how many beetles should i start with to form a colony?

    I know you said you got it but I wanted to note something anyways. Something that many people use is the weekly pill set boxes called "medisets". You know, the ones that are about 7 inches long, 1 inch high and 1 inch deep and have the letters on the top......oh heck....here is a picture.

    http://www.sfaf.org/files/site1/imag...04_mediset.jpg

    They have ones like that but are for like a month so it has like 30 compartments. Well people use those to change their worms into beetles.

    Just a suggestion for you or anyone else who finds this thread looking for help. Sorry about the slight thread digging.

    Oh speaking of digging.....never heard of putting dirt in with them.


    **Edit to add



    Oh and about separating meal worms. I read that you needed to but it turns out you don't. I bought 25 at the pet store, tossed them into my colony box and they have been morphing on their own quite well. Think I am up to around 15 beetles with several more morphing on the top of the substrate.
