How to raise Tenebrio molitor at home
Where to live: Find a box, or a glass jar. Try not to use a paper box, because the paper box absorbs moisture, and it will be very difficult to clean up after absorbing moisture. Breadforms will die when they get wet. All the water they need comes from vegetables. The box should not be too high, and the area should be determined according to the number of breadworms, so as to avoid letting breadworms bask in the sun.

Food: Give them a few vegetable leaves every day and cover them. You can also grab some corn flour and feed them (not too much, try not to use rice flour). You can also feed them some bread crumbs and sprinkle them in the box. It is best to change the vegetable leaves every day.

Other precautions: always clean and take out the blackened and hardened dead bread. Breadforms will become winged beetles after peeling several times. Pick out the beetles and put them in another box. This box should be high, and it is best to cover it with a net to prevent them from climbing out or flying out. If they become fake shell worms, they don't have to clean too much to avoid removing things like eggs as excrement. Just take out stale leaves and dead worms.
