really there is no way to move it any faster, you have to let time take its course. i breed meal worms also i keep them in about 80-85 degrees it helps them breed faster, also if you separate them into their own little containers like film containers with not food they pupate quicker i found. giving them no food stresses them out and they go into a pupate state. once they have turned from pupae (little white aliens) move them into a container or tub with about 1-1 1/2 inches of quick oats (oatmeal-natural flavour) with some carrot and potato slices they will start mating and lay eggs. from there you just have to be patient and wait to see little mealies crawl around, and start the process again if you like.
cheers and good luck
