Calling all bug-breeders

I have had my adults in a tub of wheat bran/oat bran/mixed grain. Every couple of days I put in fresh potato pieces and remove the old ones. I have a piece of egg crate in the substrate for them to hide in. They seem to enjoy each other's company because they are all in one "cup". I have about a dozen beetles now. Should I just be patient?

Keeo them warm. Wait one to two months, and then you should see tiny worms. You might want to offer a little protein and something other than potatoe now and then.
