Is Mr Jelly Cutter the jelly saver?
Male beetles have huge mandible or horn, they couldn’t put their heads into the jelly.
They could starve if you are unaware of this situation, thinking that they still have food.
Introducing our Mr jelly cutter has a blade that could easily cut the jelly to half, a true game changer.
In that case, your male beetle won’t starve anymore!
And your jelly won’t go to waste, as they could only reach the surface level of an uncut jelly.
Mr Jelly cutter the Jelly saver! We only have low on stock for this, available on the website right now!

🔸️Prosopocoilus hasterti moinieri🔸️
Family: Lucanidae (Stag Beetle Family)
Distribution: Primarily found in the Solomon Islands, this subspecies typically inhabits dense forests at low to medium altitudes, where high humidity provides an ideal environment for its survival.
Physical Features:
Prosopocoilus hasterti moinieri is renowned for its distinctive mandibles and striking body coloration. The body exhibits a shiny orange to black hue, with some individuals displaying faint, darker stripe-like patterns or spots on the pronotum (thorax) and elytra (wing covers). These features vary between individuals. The male's mandibles feature sharp inner teeth, used for territorial battles, while females are smaller with more compact mandibles.
Size:
Males: 40–80 mm
Females: 25–40 mm
Behavior:
Males are territorial and often engage in fights for mating rights. This species is nocturnal, with feeding and mating typically occurring at night.
Care and Breeding:
Habitat: Provide a spacious, well-ventilated enclosure filled with a substrate made of decayed wood and leaf litter, as they prefer soft, moist environments.
Humidity and Temperature:
Maintain humidity at 70–80% and temperature at 22–28°C (72–82°F)
Diet: Feed them beetle jelly, ripe fruits (e.g., bananas, apples), or sugar water.
Breeding:
Place males and females together in a breeding tank containing decayed wood for egg-laying.
After the female lays eggs, separate her to avoid disturbance.
The eggs hatch into larvae, which feed on wood flakes or Karawatake kinshi (fungus wood). The larvae go through three instars before pupating.
Notes: Avoid excessively dry conditions, as they can harm both larvae and adults. Overcrowding males may lead to injuries from fighting.
Changing jelly twice a week for soo many beetles is always lots of work.😥
Hurry up and take some away from me.🤣

Dynastes Tityus
Also called the Eastern Hercules.
From head to tail, these beetles shine in golden hues with unique spots and patterns. Their lifespan is longer compared to other beetles, almost a year, and their non-picky eating habits make them favorites among keepers, providing long-term enjoyment.🪲

How do we take care of a beetle that just emerged and is still dormant?
1️⃣ Beetles that just emerged are very fragile. Their exoskeleton has not yet hardened and can be harmed very easily.
2️⃣ It is very important to choose a very soft and delicate substrate for them.
3️⃣ Always keep the environment moisturized.
4️⃣ DO NOT put any beetle jelly when they're still dormant. Even though they are likely not to eat it, there's still a chance for them to eat it and mess up their viscera.
What are some other things we need to be careful about when handling a beetle that just emerged?
