I will be finishing school Monday and want to take a week off before going to work full time for a local HVAC company. During this time I want to go to Newport, Rhode Island. How long can my beetles go without eating?
Well, it depends on the species and what stage of development. When I'm away for a week, I make sure all my Dynastes larvae have plenty of fresh substrate and my adults have plenty of beetle jellies along with watered down maple syrup to hold them over until I return.
