let them sit and put in vegtables on the top of the substrate ( bran oats what ever works)
keep them warm and they will grow faster i use containers that you cant see through they will pupate over time and then beatles will hatch and breed as i said before the process takes time but is well worth it for back up food alone

it often takes the eggs along time to hatch i still have some hatching from 2 months ago when all the beatles died the rate of growth depends on heat so some are probley micro sized now you will be able to see some soon
