You can take the cell out after two months.  After 6 months.  You can open the cell.  They can dormant like this.

How do you deal with these issues? Preventing them from fly away:     Drop temperature to under 70°     Wet the wings     Tape the elytra or elytron     Cut/remove? Let them fly without getting away:     Leash/string on a leg     In a enclosed room     Set up a tent

Not sure what type of hardwood theses are but look at the price.   $5.79 for 40lbs.  Can be pickup at Lowe's

My giant stag beetle  emerged 2 weeks ago.  It walks when I take him out but still not eating.  Food was wasted because he was not ready to eat.  When should I place food in the container?

I might be running into similar issues with Lucanus Elaphus.  I didn't fill the containers to the top. They do not come to the top anymore.  They been under the clay for about 1.5 months. But hasn't make cells. Looks like they are getting close to pupate in the tunnel.  They are yellow, moving...

My first beetle from grub to adult.

I was lucky to be the first on the waiting list for this.  She arrived healthy and ready to eat her first meal as an adult. Thanks to Lucas3133.

Nicely packed.  All arrived live and some extras.  He is easy to communicate with.

I wonder if something like this can work for our bugs.  It might be a way to lower the cost and evenly distributes heat. https://www.wellspringkim.com/using-miniature-lights-for-warmth/
