HERCULES BEETLE CARE

[Jack waterfield]

My hercules beetle grubs male female both L2 do not seem to be very active

Is this normal in grubs?. They are definitely alive and don't seem to be acting funny but I rarely see them do much. Can someone help me out thanks

They may be in a prepupal state. How long have they been like this?

They've been like this for 2 and a half days but I don't think it's time for them to be turning to L3

Nothing wrong with not being active. That's just how larvae are..As long as you see their mouth moving they are feeding.

Ah, that makes more sense than them being prepupal. I still have a lot to learn about keeping beetles : )
