M. Finae,
Thanks for the info. Both he male and female emerged in May this year. The breeder told me it is up to me if I want to hibernate (diapause) them or not, but to not breed them until next May when they are a year old. From what I have read it seems that they will be healthier and live longer if I put them in hibernation from about November to May. Right know all my beetles are in my living room which I keep at 24c year round, the breeder said I could keep them outside during November to May, but I worry about temperature fluctuations. I have an old refrigerator with an external thermostat that I used to use when I brewed beer and I think I am going to use that for their hibernation I just have to remember not to let them dry out and open the door everyday or some to make sure the air is good.
