Dynastes Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Why not? What about the lardarius or talpinus? They are much prettier and not so pesty (they also don't fly all over the place). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I just spent my bug money on monster hunter portable 3rd, so I cannot buy these.....yet. Also I am a vegan and will not buy meat for the other species. Can the other species eat dead crickets or other bugs? If so I would likely look into those species. thanks in advance!

Dynastes Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 They do fine on cheap, corn based dog food and eat a variety of vegetarian fares but if you want a mess of them they lay eggs most readily with pigskin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'll just stick to D.maculatus then. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
