I’m in the U.S. and am looking for a good beetle breeder to buy from!! I don’t have a specific species in mind but have a bioactive tropical 40 breeder open. Ideally I want something more showy but all the breeders I see recommended are either equally not recommended or don’t have anything T-T
Hello! I this is my first time keeping beetles and I’ve had the larvae shown in this video for about 4 ish months now. She had mostly stopped eating and lost weight (44 grams four days ago, 37 grams today) as well as showing wandering behavior. I figured she was just going to be a small female and was ready to pupate. I prepared the JamJamExotics goliath beetle pupation soil (seems like a mix of sand and clay but would have to check the website for ratios.) I added water until the soil would hold it shape when squeezed but wouldn’t drip. When I first put her in she acted normal. She promptly burrowed down and explored, occasionally taking breaks but then a little bit ago she started to wander the top of the cup again. I’m unsure if this is normal behavior or not and google wasn’t being helpful so i figured I would get some opinions or advice. :D
Edit: It’s morning now and she‘s no longer wandering nor at the top of the cup so hopefully that means she was just getting a layout of the land before making her bed, but I guess we’ll find out in a few months
