Rearing Accanthopus velikensis

[pittaro90]

Hello,

i receive from a friend some (8) Accanthopus velikensis a month ago, but they didn't lay eggs, anyone got some suggestion?

Today i moved them in a bigger container, with a substrate made with 50% sand and 50% dead leaves with catfood and apple slices...

Thanks

I find that most darkling beetles don't lay eggs in fall/winter, ecspeciely wild caught ones. Other than that, I do not know what to tell you, I have never heard of someone breeding this species. Good luck!
