Sooo I just got a container of 25 super worm from bug co, and I've never kept them before so I'm not sure if I need to feed them something or they eat the frosted flakes looking things(they look like decaying matter to me) and do I have to water there container? Thank youuuu

Read Crystals thread on how to raise feeder insects.

I have kept 2 different reptiles sooooooo I have knowledge of superworms. They fully caterpie evolve from nasty worm to pupae to beetle, the breeding you should watch a youtube tutorial. Just feed them vegetables and fruit. Also yes they do not eat the frosted flake stuff. You can also watch a housing tutorial on youtube. The dummy's summary!

Also, don't expose them to water or any liquids, they get moister from veggies you feed them (carrots, lettuce, etc.). The superworms will eat each other if not fed (you don't have to give them anything to eat if your planning to use them in a short period of time, although it makes em more plump for your pets). They will most likely drown and wet substrate is hard to dig in for the superworms. I think the flakes are wheat bran. They don't exactly eat it, I'm pretty sure they just chew on it.

 

Heres the link to the feeder insect care sheet ANTdrew was talking about
