strategus food

[axlopez]

strategus like to eat fruit I like to give them apple because it has a good sugar supply and not to much, perfect for keeping them alive for a long life!.(If can buy) beetle jelies work best and can buy on bugs in cyberspace.com if you wanna buy them in u.s. And watered down maple syrup in a lid in the subsrate should help keep them alive

Use for your Strategus midf Fruits like bannana and apple...

Better you use Beetle Jelly (Jellies)!

Hey yah Andrew

I feed my aleous maple syrup mixed with water on some shreaded tissue paper they love it!! and some of my females have lived a year eatting that.

I put it in a shallow cup and bury the cup level with the substrate.

hope that helps

Hi, Mashku

Hi, the best are Banana or Lactic Acid.

Or you mix a proteine food (do it yourself).

The beetles are fed with a mixture of mashed banana, yogurt, honey and maple syrup (3 parts, 3 parts, 1part, 1part). The yoghurt is used as supply for proteins (advice from J.T.Lai). The beetles will hunt larvae if they lack proteins, even the males. I did recognize this first when I had an excess of males.
