She is only 2 months from when she emerged. Now I'm scared she might die too early. I feed her fruits and beetle jellies.

Rhino beetle female not moving too much

Rhinos are nocturnal so they rest during the day. If you disturb your female too much during daytime then she will become fatigued at night when she is supposed to be active. It's like us being tired when we don't get enough sleep. Keep your enclosure moist and provide adequate amount of fresh food supply for her without disturbing her too much. Observe her behavior for a few days and she should be fine. Japanese rhinos live for two to two and a half months, sometimes three if you're lucky. However, that lifespan is from when they become active, not when they have just eclosed.

Yes they usually live for about two months after they become active and dig their way to the surface. I've had some that lived for two and a half to three due to the type of food I fed them and their living conditions.
