Ok so I'm going to start to breed mealworms to have some for my Giant leo (if she eats..) so I don't have to keep on buying more and more (not that expensive, but this way I won't even have to spend money). Today after cleaning out the water dishes and doing some cage mainenance, I looked into the mealworm container and saw a beetle. So I thought, "I'm just going to breed my own and see what happens." so there are a few things I want to know on how to keep and breed these beetles. There is also another mealworm in it's cocoon and about to turn into a beetle so if they are the opposite sex which I cannot really tell (I'll just see what happens) I'll breed them.

1- How do I set up their home? Right now I have the one beetle in a small plastic container with some paper towels in it just for now.

2- What do these beetles eat?

3- Do I just put the beetles together and expect to see eggs or is there a certain way I am supposed to breed them?

Thanks for your answers!
