How to raise rhinoceros beetle

Rhinoceros beetle is a popular insect pet in recent years. It is shiny black all over, and some are dark red. It is very majestic and is known as the "king of beetles". Here is an introduction to the breeding methods of rhinoceros beetles.

1. Breeding box

When raising them, you need to use a glass or plastic breeding box, lay a 5-8 cm layer of soft soil on the bottom, and set up some branches and other grabbing objects to provide leverage points when climbing or turning over.

2. Placement environment

Place the breeding box in a cool and ventilated place. Remember not to place the breeding box in a place where the sun can reach it, because the rhinoceros beetle's heat dissipation system is not very good and it is easy to die due to high temperature.

3. Feeding

The food for rhinoceros beetles can be fruits rich in sweetness and water. Choose ripe fruits. You can also buy special jelly for insects at a pet store. In addition to the convenience of using jelly, special jelly contains rich nutrients and can prolong the life of rhinoceros beetles. Feeding is free-flowing, but should be changed daily to avoid attracting other insects.

4. Feeding method

When feeding, you can apply honey water or brown sugar water on the small tree trunk to attract the beetles to feed. You can also cut fruits such as watermelon , peaches, and melon into small pieces and stick them in the soil with toothpicks for them to eat.

5. Reproduction matters

Male and female rhinoceros beetles can be raised together to watch them live, mate and even lay eggs. If you only raise male rhinoceros beetles, their lifespan will be longer, and an adult can survive for 3 to 4 months.
