Dynastes
i might be getting Dermestes maculates from roach crossing soon, and i would like to know how to breed them, how to rear them, and what foods should they eat. it says on his site that they eat dead roaches and and grain based roach food, dog food right? also what is a good setup for them? thanks in advance!

Why not? What about the lardarius or talpinus? They are much prettier and not so pesty (they also don't fly all over the place).

 
I just spent my bug money on monster hunter portable 3rd, so I cannot buy these.....yet.

Also I am a vegan and will not buy meat for the other species. Can the other species eat dead crickets or other bugs? If so I would likely look into those species. thanks in advance!

 
They do fine on cheap, corn based dog food and eat a variety of vegetarian fares but if you want a mess of them they lay eggs most readily with pigskin.
