Hello!
I wanted to see how everyone on here(that breeds bsf obviously) breeds and cares for their bsf larvae. I never had any luck breeding them in the past and I really would like to try again because my beardie eats ALOT and I'm very worried that I'm not giving her enough. I did see somewhere that you should have holes for the flies to fly in and out but I don't know if I'd be able to do that inside or outside(parasites and other bugs!). I also don't know what to use for their substrate. Overall, I'd like to find a way to have a sustainable supply of food for her. So far I feed her bsf and superworms but I will hopefully switch out the superworms for Discoid roaches soon! If you have any advice on discoid roach breeding that would be very helpful too! Any other suggestions for easy to breed nutritious insects for beardies is especially helpful aswell.
Some questions I have:
Does anyone know how to care and breed for them? What substrate is best for them? What temps they like best? Do the adults NEED to leave the larvae box in order to breed? How many times they need to be misted daily? I read somewhere that its best if they do but I just don't see that working in either my house or outside. I will be getting a new bunch of them tomorrow so I'd like to figure out how to make a sustainable colony out of them.
Thanks.
