Dustyboi Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 I've kept Bess beetles for a few months and I've decided that I want to try some other species (Most likely Gymnetis thula or Dynastes Tityus). I want to prepare some substrate before getting them. Could I ferment wood that is already white and rotten? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Welcome. Dynastes tityus is my favorite beetle but there are so many that are so beautiful. You don't need to artificially rot, rotten wood. Try fermenting some pellets and then mix in you rotten wood but be sure it is treated so it does not contain earthworms, nematodes, whiteworms, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKim Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Hi! If the wood is already rotten, as Dynastes has mentioned, it is not necessary to ferment it again. I would suggest as exactly as the way Dynastes has provided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
