MCasApp Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hello! I am a beetle collector from spain and i would like to start breeding beetles. I just find this world incredibly amazing. If anybody could give any advice I would be very very grateful. What would be a good beetle to start with and where could I get them from? Thank you very much☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug slayer Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I don’t know the laws on beetles keep in Spain but if you want to breed flower beetles you need 4 inches of substrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkaiWangisme Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Dorcus titanus is easy. Google stag beetles for sale and you should be able to find one. Their are very well made care guides out there, I'm sure you can find info on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of natives are protected though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevink Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Good luck and welcome. You'll have access to more beetle species than we do in the USA, an internet search for "buy live beetles " should get you going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
