Anyone have any experience with goliatus? I've got a grub that's stopped eating at about 34.8 grams, weighed on the 8th, it's previous weight was
36.7 on 11-24.
For some inexplicable reason, it decided to go topside and wander. I emailed Peter at Bugsincyberspace, and attached a photo, he thought the
container seemed a bit small. So, I mixed up some fresh coconut substrate(recommended) and put it in a container deeper and bigger. He went for the bottom,
and then decided he didn't find what he was looking for and now has a racetrack with a few holes that it's been going around and around and around...
Not interested in the food it's been eating since 10-1.
I know what is going to happen soon. It's going to die and there isn't anything I know how to do to stop it. I'm used to raising lepidoptera, so I know all too well
when these things happen, it's most likely unfixable. I figure it'll lose weight and starve, maybe it'll change it's mind, but it's not like I can take it to a vet.
When a person is doing what has been working for months, and the animal changes behavior to it's detriment, it's something I'm overlooking. With the
newness of this species in the hobby, it's a tough one to get information on. Quote a book "when you have live animals, sooner or later, you'll have dying and dead animals"
