Jack waterfield Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Hello everyone I have been keeping stag beetles for inwhile now and I got them as adults. I'm wanting to buy hercules beetles but they come as larvae. I know how to care for them but on a beginners level Can anyone help me out with some more information on caring for the larvae and the pupa Larvar substrate? Do the pupa still need feeding/watering? Do I just leave them/should I make a seperate cell etc It would be great if someone could help me Thank you Also can you house hercules beetle grubs together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oak Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Hi, there are tons of information on this forum. For future reference, you can use the search function to look up the answers you are looking for. But I will briefly answer your questions for now. 4 hours ago, Jack waterfield said: Larvar substrate? You can make flake soil using oak pellets or collect rotting oak wood/leaves. 4 hours ago, Jack waterfield said: Do the pupa still need feeding/watering? Pupa do not eat. However, it is advised to spray them once in a while if the conditions get dry. 4 hours ago, Jack waterfield said: Do I just leave them/should I make a seperate cell etc You can leave them in their cell or make a separate cell using floral foam. That is up to you. 4 hours ago, Jack waterfield said: Also can you house hercules beetle grubs together As long as there is enough space. You will need to increase their space size as they grow.
