    Get a couple of those 4-way cardboard McDonald's drink holders and put them on top the bedding , this will act as a little playground for The Beetles.

    Where did you get your starter worms from? We don't have any around here.

    You can try and find a PetSmart, Petco or order them online like I did, I started out with about 2000 large mealworms.

    I’ve ordered from them a couple of times and I’ve always been happy. They have meal worms, I’ve always purchased red wigglers for my compost worm bins.

    I tried the wet paper towel and got mine to damp even putting a mist on the paper with a spray bottle is to much . I feed mine nothing but the wheat bran till I fatten them in containers to take fishing .

    They need moisture,if not they will eat the eggs and anything that will give them moisture.ive been 10 years with generations from the original batch,they live in bran,and I halve a medium potato for moisture and supplement .

    It's fun to watch the beetles completely strip a chicken bone down to nothing.
