silly question time now but do beetles lay eggs or just give birth to live worms? Ive got some morio beetles that im hoping will breed. their tub kind of smells now but i dont want to risk cleaning it all out incase im accidently throwing away eggs :?

Thank for the info manda I will put up with the smell then as I dont want to risk throwing eggs away. its not really that bad its just when i have my face close up looking for eggs/worms. :lol:

one more silly question :lol: will the beetles eat their own eggs or is it safe to leave the beetles in and remove the worms when they have hatched? Ive had these beetles in a large butty box for ages now and Ive not seen any eggs or worms yet. I think I must have kept a trio of either all females or all males
