Oak Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I plan on breeding this species but ever since I've moved, I have not been able to find any juniper trees near me. Do adults need to feed on juniper leaves or are they able to breed without feeding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garin Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I think you can use beetle jelly. It's been awhile since I was breeding them but I remember there was a time I ran out of Juniper and I fed them beetle jelly and they seem fine.

Hisserdude Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 From what I hear they live much shorter lives than normal on just a jelly diet, and don't lay much without host plants to feed on... At least that's what I've heard, @Lucanus knows more I'm pretty sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes TItyus hunter Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Beetle jelly works with Chrysina Gloriosa but I would prefer a juniper leaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
