Default Mealworm Breeding?

I would like to try breeding mealworms... I have 3 or 4 beetles just in the tub with the mealies, is there anything special they need to breed?

nah not really just get a tub fill it with some bran i think it is add a layer of kitchen roll on top and put the beetles in then wait and when you see baby meal worms take the beetles out and put them in another tub and so on and so on and feed them some veg every now and again

well thats all we did
