Update Well they are all still alive, when I checked last night there were no signs of mould, 3 of the wax worms are turning brown so hopefully I'll have some moths soon!! There are probably more turning brown that have buried themselves in the substrate too so fingers crossed!

re
meal worms are easy to breed. get yourself a large plastic container and get a net curtain for the top of it. place porrige oats in the bottom about 1-2 inches deep. in one corner place some egg flats and in another place a stale piece of bread. place your tub of bought wax worms into the container and wait. you will see they turn into pale whitish little alien things.
At this time remove them and place into a cricket box or similar and wait in a week or so they will change into beetles. Once they are beetles they can be placed back into the large container. feed them on veg and potato peeling but ensure this doesnt get on the oats so ue a lid of a cricket box. They will lay eggs in the bread and it only needs replacing once its been eaten. after a month or two you will see little worms in the ottom of the tub and as they grow they will come to the surface.. just keep the process going top up oats and remove aliens until they are bettles to stop meal worms and beattles eating them.. Hope this helps you Tony Quote:

dont use a stale pece of bread as it wont last long! a bit of cork bark with holes drilled in ti works well.
i put some morios "giant mealworms" in with them and they drilled the holes into the cork bark for me  the morios also turned into beetles and bred in the same way as the mealies but i had to wait longer for them to pupate, to breed and to hatch.

Better way
I have a better way just replace the jar with a coke bottle cut in half with the top stuck inside the bottom half upside down with a tiny bit of netting put over the lid and tape the two haves together once you have put weatabix and honey in the bottom half along with your worms

re
Locusts are easy enough but need to keep them close enough so they grow to adults. they mature quicker if they rub back legs. keep it hot and they will breed and lay. u need to provide jamjars with damp sand in for them to lay
