PowerHobo Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I have so many questions. Do you keep them stacked like that or are those temporary containers for feeding? I noticed the lack of substrate. If so, where do you locate your ventilation holes? Where did you obtain your Goliathus? I've been looking since I found out the 3 species had become legal, but I'm not having much/any luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanus Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Very nice. What species are they? I wish you luck for their pupation. I'll certainly be keeping an eye on the classifieds if you get a decent second generation and have surplus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle-Experience Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 PowerHobo: 1. Those are the containers I keep them in. The shallow substrate helps them find food quickly (helpful for several reasons), also they don't need/eat much of the substrate anyway. The containers with almost no substrate had mites recently (most of the ones up front), so I have been changing the substrate when I feed them to bring the mite numbers back down. 2. Most of my ventilation holes are in the lids, but a few are on the sides. I feed them every other day so they get a lot of air flow that way. 3-4: PM me Titanus: Thanks! These are G.g. and this is my second batch of larvae - their parents all pupated and eclosed with no problems. I have actually had more trouble with hatchlings and early L1, pupation is pretty easy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
