Awhile ago I made a pop quiz post asking if people could tell the difference between a female Rainbow stag and a small minor Rainbow stag.

Thought I should go over the difference for people who wouldn't know the differences.

So apparently I need to film myself doing this everytime now.

Mandible tying for Odontolabis Burmeisteri so he doesn't attack the female when they are placed in the breeding bin togather. I found it to be quite difficult with this medium tooth burmeisteri. One of my favorite species though.

Larvae raising tip!

You can use many containers for keeping beetle larvae. Of course, we also sell our own containers with flake as larvae kits you can purchase.

Otherwise:
Daiso often has lot's of containers of various sizes, if you have one nearby, take a look!

To go soup deli cups work well to, unfortunately they are usually not very transparent, and are usually are 32oz at the biggest. But they are cheap, and can stack!

Jars! You can reuse jars from various product. Jars are good for their transparency.

And finally, bug boxes. They come in various sizes, are usually rectangular shaped, and are transparent. But they can be pricier, and tend to have too much ventilation, needing a seperate cover.

In general, what you want to look for in a larvae container are

Transparency
Stackable
Different sizes
Limited ventilation 3-6 small holes
And cheap

A container with all these aspects can be hard to come by, but all the options listed above are viable.

Remember to add objects to your beetles' enclosure to help them pick themselves back up. Especially beetles that have lost some of their tarsal/claws.

It's not inherently bad for a beetle to be on their back. But they can exhaust themselves trying to pick themselves back up, which could result in their death 😧

A beetles size can vary greatly depending on their genetics and how much they were able to grow as larvae. The photo shown has two Male stag beetles of the same species. Prosopocoilus bison cinctus, one over 75mm, the small one around 30mm.

So raise your beetle as best as you can to get the biggest beetle you can! That's part of the fun.

Prosopocoilus bison cinctus is also a great beginner species.

Flower beetle larva molted from L1-L2. Their heads become all white, and their bodies become all soft. Takes them a few days for their new head capsules to harden.

Kinda feel bad he got spooked so bad, but what did he get spooked by? The table? They do mistake it for a beetle sometimes Jamesbeetlefarm.com #pet #larvae #beetlelover #beeetle #jamesbeetlefarm #larva #beetlebreeding #larvaecare #beetlecare #larvae #stagbeetles #insect #beetle #rhinobeetles #beetlelovers #stagbeetle #insects

Not too much to say other than, Schenklingi is cool. Pain Meter 4/10 not bad, but I think his bite will be stronger once it warms up.

Putting Prosopocoilus zebra and two Rheatulus crenatus crenatus into their own breeding bins. These species need a soft log in order to get them to lay.

It's really cute when you pet their heads, and they start to relax. The great titanus stags are a lot more passive than I ever would have thought.

Prosopocoilus fabricei takakuwai Truly a magnificent looking stag beetle.

I probably shouldn't have waited so long to post this since I kinda forgot how much it hurt. I might need to try it again..., but it did hurt, just not quite as bad as I thought it would. Pain Meter: 6-7/10 I think it was around there. #pet #larvae #beetlelover #beeetle #jamesbeetlefarm #larva #beetlebreeding #larvaecare #beetlecare #larvae #stagbeetles #insect #beetle #rhinobeetles #beetlelovers #stagbeetle #insects #Dorcus #dorcusalcides

Gotta show off videos of more of our beetles! This is Prosopocoilus suturalis. It is a small, but very nice looking species. It can be identified with the Y looking shape on it's back. #pet #larvae #beetlelover #beeetle #jamesbeetlefarm #larva #beetlebreeding #larvaecare #beetlecare #larvae #stagbeetles #insect #beetle #rhinobeetles #beetlelovers #stagbeetle #insects #prosopocoilus #prosopocoilussuturalis

Just wanted to clean him off a bit for a video. Turned out to be a bite test video. I guess my idea of holding him still from his mandibles wasn't a good one Pain Meter: 6/10 might make a good ear piercer #pet #larvae #beetlelover #beeetle #jamesbeetlefarm #larva #beetlebreeding #larvaecare #beetlecare #larvae #stagbeetles #insect #beetle #rhinobeetles #beetlelovers #stagbeetle #insects #hexarthriusmandibularis #hexarthrius #hexarthriusmandibularismandibularis
