Eden V Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 I found this guy racing across the ground last week and had enough sense to realize it might be something special. So I grabbed it up, gathered some sandy soil, white wood rot and decaying leaves from the area. I have it in a container with moistened peatmoss (some of the sandy soil mixed in as well), the shredded white wood rot and leaves. I've never tried to raise beetles, I've done a lot of research and I'm glad I found this forum! But I'm curious, is it common for the larvae to move very little? When I held it for the picture, super active. But It's been on the bottom of the container in the same spot for almost 24 hours. It's alive, but I don't know their behavior. How can I tell if they're unhappy?? Am I just fretting over it for no reason? Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 When they are underground they don't necessarily move much. They move a lot faster on the surface since they're about to be eaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
