    Move your beetles to a new enclosure with substrate ever 2-3 weeks, so that they dont eat the eggs.

    And make sure you don't throw ANYTHING away - substrate, newspaper, dried carrots, etc. The eggs are so small that you can't see them and they could be on things you are throwing away. Make sure you provide a moisture source and oat bran. You can't even see the worms at first. But they'll come. And boy do they! LOTS of them.

    Good luck.
