Starting a new superworm colony

[Wolfox]

I have about 50 beetles. It's winter in NJ so it might take longer to form a good colony. Room temp is kept at 73F. I have about 1,000 worms to feed my dragon throughout the winter. He's still a juvi. Unsure whether or not to order another 1,ooo med sup worms to take me through the winter months till my colony gets established.

Any suggestions?

If you have one dragon I think you would be okay with the 1,000 you have to get through the winter. I just ordered 500 for Luci thinking that that would get me through till the end of Feb.

Looking at your setup inspired me to maybe try to raise my own
