it's really very little trouble. (that's a "tub" I keep them in, not a
top). I decided to separate the beetles and pupae as they form to start
a new colony partly out of curiosity to see how long it takes them to
mature, and so I could throw away the "frass" without throwing away lots
of microscopic eggs. I also hated to waste the beetles and pupae. Some
of my leos take the pupae wriggling or not, but they refuse the beetles.
Just a means of maximizing my yield.
desert-dwelling kangaroo rats obtain most if not all of their moisture
from the grains they eat (admittedly a bit juicier than rolled oats or
processed bran) and also produce a highly concentrated urine. Mealworms
evolved over the centuries in bags of dry flour (meal).
