Day 1 Jan23
I purchased 20G of mealworms for 6 bucks.. a little pricey but all I need is a few beetles to lay some eggs and it'll be like harvesting duckweed.

day 14-16 Feb 7 Monday
MOld disaster. My colony was mold infested I just let mold up. I thought they could survive with moldy food , apparently its not good. So I moved ALL my mealworms into two seperate bins. No direct contact with bran oats with any thing moist including food and water towel.
Im gonna start using tin foil as a food mat to protect the bran oats. I also moved the colonies from fishroom into kitchen cupboards for dryer enviroment. So far its ok , I have beetles pupilating so hopefully they will start breeding and Ill have a Gen2 of thousands of worms.
--------------------------------
day 21 feb 14 sunday
I put everybody back into one bin and they seem to be doing very good now. Lots of movement and they are swarming the food now.
I place the food on top of tinfoil to seperate moisture and keep the bin in a cupboard for dry air. I lots of beetle pupi but not a lot of beetles so Im still waiting for some beetles so I know i have eggs coming and can start expanding my herps for feeding.
