I several Prosopocoilus giraffa keisukei that I bought as L2 and they are doing well in thier kinshi bottles. I now have some more Prosopocoilus giraffa keisukei and Dorcus titanus palawanicus that are L1 and I remember reading or someone told me it might not be good to place larave in kinshi if they are too small. Any advice is appreciated .
L1 too soon for kinshi
- Thread starter Dcpac
- Start date
Yes...
From where I came from(Korea)
Kinshi is used most of the time for breeds inside the dorcus, 70%
And people mostly advise not to use kinshi before the late L1, because the Larvae start their growth boom and grows very much starting from the L2 stage. So putting the Larvae into the kinshi when they could grow the most is most preferable and advised, which would be a L2 or late L1.
Also, if you put the larvae into the L1 stage too early, they may have some trouble fitting into the kinshi environment. and possibly die, or have trouble growing up. I myself have also lost some larvae due to early kinshi feeding.
