A short video for beginners on how to set up a container for your beetle larvae and how to look after them once they're in! www.rhinobeetl... / beetle.tv
I found one yesterday and he was bleeding, so i thought here wasnt chance for him and left him alone then he stopped moving, i trow him in bin. now im felling like im heartles pice of crap, didnt was sure if he was dead. Idk why im saying it rip...
@@batagampa4239 Of course Rip, the poor larva should rest in piece. I saw a dying larva (it got attacked by ants and there was a hole in it, it was horrible 😓) and I put it out of its misery. I feel like really bad too, but I don't think he'd stay alive for that long if he was bleeding.
@@mrbevyt746 same I need to know I have a lesser stag beetle his name is big Gary, but I need a female for him so I can get larvae before I even think of a larvae home
Yes! The guides are on point. Beginners breeder can use this guide as a great reference. But I don't really think coco fiber is a good idea to mix for any beetle larvae substrate. I myself never experienced mixing one, but my fellow breeders said any coco product is a big no since larvae can't digest it fully. It may harm the larvae, even. So I guess sticking to dead leaves and rotten wood is always a good idea. Though, only rhino beetle larvae eats dead leaves. Stag beetle larvae mostly eats rotten wood as their food.
Great tips! Thank you. I found some kind of beetle larva in a local park, it was disturbed by a couple of ants so I am going to rear it at home. This video was really helpful. The only issue is I don’t know what species I have but I’ll follow these tips and see how it goes.
I am happy to find another beetle-channel on here, glad about everyone sharing this great obby! Some quick feedback for consideration ;) • 25°C is very warm for most larvae. 20-22°C is more suitable. For many beetles temperatures 18-20° result in longer development, but bigger imagos. • Coconut fibre is dangerous for many larvae, since they cannot digest it and can get constipated. I would not recommend using it. Many wont be affected, but some will. • Most stag-beetle larvae are not cannibalistic and can be kept in large groups, as long as the container is big enough.
Hi Mukheld, thanks so much for taking the time to give some feedback! Your kind words are really appreciated :) I'll be sure to take on board your suggestions. It's great to hear about the stag beetle larvae as I endeavour to breed mine at some point in the future. Thanks again for the support!
How about sun beetles? i feed the larvea to my reptiles often as a treat, but i find the beatles just stunning! Any tips on caring for the larvea? and maybe on ''breeding'' them? :D
@@Brandom If you follow the instructions on the video and keep them at about 25 degrees celsius then they should be fine! I haven't had a go at breeding yet but soon hope to. There's a lot on the internet though if you did want to have a try yourself :)
Wunoa Witch thanks for your comment! I’ll be making a video soon on how to care for adult beetles. Hopefully that could be of some use to you!! 😁 just a quick reminder: in some areas, beetles are protected so it’s always best to just check that your beetle is safe to be kept in captivity 😁
Thank you Bettle TV I found an lava just on the side of the garden park (no idea if he was there naturally of if someone found him and put him there) I took him home today and now I know how to properly care for him, so thank you so much for the video
Was doing tree work and found a dozen or so very big grubs and one just recently made its little ball! I'm excited to see what they look like when they emerge

does rotten vegetable skin work? i have a stag beetle grub (i originally had three but this one ate them both), and it seems like he enjoys vegetable skin and apple peel. should i be concerned?
Hi. Total beginner here, having found about twenty drone beetle larvae in a disused cucumber planter and helping my 6-yr old care for them. Have transferred them (with the same soil we found them in) to a largish terrarium, but didn't add any substrate yet - will do that shortly based on this video - thanks for that tip! How crucial is de-pooing the terrarium, and how does one differentiate poo from just soil? Finally, I've read about using loo roll, etc., as separation containers, but is all that really necessary, or should the terrarium suffice for the entire development period? (I guess they do well enough without loo rolls/other accessories in the wild!)
Thanks, helpful but by hindsight though. Came across a very large, apparently stag beetle larvae just on the footpath between lawns. With no obvious place to return it to where it belongs, not lawns of course, I chose to keep it, also hoping t see what sort of beetle would emerge. Put it on the top of commercial compost and covered with decaying foliage. Covered the jar with paper towel for breathing, and sprayed once a week to keep it moist. After a month, decided to check how it was doing by gently removing foliage, and found dead rotten :(((. No idea what I did wrong - all seemed consistent with your advice ...?
Hi how do I get lesser stag beetle larvae I have an adult male (his name is Gary) I want to find a female for him but struggling, I can't find anything about getting larvae for them can you please help? Would mean the world to me
Hello, I'm planning on getting myself a pack of Eudicella Gralli. I've been wondering though, does the larvae container have to be plastic, or is glass fine?
Depending on where you live you should be able to find them too if you set up the right spot in your backyard. Just start making a small compost area and keep it moist. I live in az and it’s always dry and there’s not a lot of good dirt but I’ve been able to set it up where I get rhino beetle and Hercules beetle larva in my backyard on the regular
I found one in a piece of tree that was on the ground, he was eating said piece of tree, can i just put him in a container with substrate and a piece of wood for him to eat? Regularly cleaning his poop and Changing the wood once it's no longer nutritious?
Since my orbweavers dont have infinite food supply. Then dwarf brown beetle should be efficient food supply for my pets, these beetles are pest in philippines and can also spread pretty fast in some areas during mating season. Ill try to breed in a plastic container of stick-o.
Hello! I have a little question. I found a few scarab beetle larvae outside (curl grubs) and I wanna see them grow. Is there any other food I can add into the container?
I’ve got some different types of rose beetle larvae coming they’re not known to be cannibalistic … could you house these different species of rose beetle larvae together without issue in a large tub or should I place them in individual ones to be safe?
I am fairly certain I found a stag beetle larvae while making a pit fall trap but not knowing enough I accidentally killed it and I hope to find another because I love beetles and stage beetles
BeetleTV I have two female rhino beetles (I think rhino beetles), they are really cool. Have you seen the rainbow stag beetles in Australia? They are so awesome! That’s what I really want next!
Is it ok to leave my beetle larvae containers in an air conditioned room at 18 celcius. I leave my air conditioner on every night till morning and I was wondering if the cold temperature would affect my larvae growth
I own a Goliathus goliatus larvae, and I’ve just noticed that he seems to pull down and eat earthworms that are on the surface. I’ve never heard of this behavior before....I know they need an abnormal amount of protein, (I bought koi pellets) but I never knew they did this.
Just starting out and just doing some research. I've noticed most places only sell them as larvae first, is there a reason for this or do people just prefer larvae?
Hi Savannah, there are multiple reasons for this. First, is that buying larvae is much cheaper as there has been little work and time in rearing them. Second, it seems easier to transport larvae as opposed to adult beetles. Lastly, rearing beetle larvae is really all part of the fun! Most adult beetles, particularly rhino and flower beetles, tend to only live for a matter of months and therefore rearing beetles from larvae extends the amount of time you spend with them. Hope this helps and good luck with your research! :)
Can someone help me? I'm a beginner, it seems I'm doing almost everything right according to the video, but my poor larvae is shrinking and getting wrinkles, I don't know what to do 😭
Hi! Whilst rhino beetles are not known to be cannibalistic it is not a great idea to house many in one small container. For housing multiple larvae I would recommend a large container that will accommodate them all without inviting cannibalism! Hope this helps :)
My larvas are not moving that much. They are also not responding much when I touch them. They are getting weaker. Are they dying? What should I do? Really need help!
I just got my first stag beetle. the owner of the shop made me buy a jar full of soil with white something on it? is it drugs for the beetle? it looks like a cookies and cream from mcdonalds. do I really have to put it there to make a giant beetle or I can just put it on a normal soil?
I found my little Larvae dude outside, I just wanna see what beetle he turns into. So this was really helpful info on how to keep him kickin, thnx!
Could you describe the larva or do you have pictures of similar ones?
How’s it doin?
