Hello, I would like to breed beetles

[MCasApp]

Hello!

I am a beetle collector from spain and i would like to start breeding beetles. I just find this world incredibly amazing. If anybody could give any advice I would be very very grateful. What would be a good beetle to start with and where could I get them from?

Thank you very much

Well we need to know what country you are in so we can tell you what you can get and where.

I don’t know the laws on beetles keep in Spain but if you want to breed flower beetles you need 4 inches of substrate

Dorcus titanus is easy. Google stag beetles for sale and you should be able to find one. Their are very well made care guides out there, I'm sure you can find info on them

Not really any, all exotics are legal. A lot of natives are protected though

There are lots of european websites that sell beetles such as beetleshouse.com

Good luck and welcome. You'll have access to  more beetle species than we do in the USA, an internet search for "buy live beetles " should get

you going.

Yea I wish we could keep more exotic species 

 

[BensBeasts1]

I mean you could get permits but that would take forever especially because of the virus!
