Have been trying this myself...along side my mum.....no problems....except mum has just called and told me that she has had a tub of beetles and worms that were being "attacked" by what can only be described as microscopicaly small white bugs....
has anyone had any dealings with anything similar or advise on what this can be caused by??

Thanks for this thread, its been so useful, my mealies grew & grew and I now have a tub full of aliens (i was so happy when i found my first one!).

My daily routine of 'alien sifting' has become a habit now.

Patience has now rewarded me with my first beetles and they are starting to turn dark brown.

My question is, can the beetles climb? I have them in plastic storage containers, but never bothered with lids, as this caused too much humidity, do i need a lid for my beetle tub?

I was planning on following someone elses advice with moving the beetles to a new fresh tub every few weeks to provide an ongoing supply, as i use more small mealies than large ones, and this would save me having to dig through for the right size.
