Visited Pets kampong and got the wood, jello, etc. Too bad when I got home the male stag was dead. So now left with 2 females (rhino and stag). I have not heard of any lfs importing beetles, if I hear, will update you.

The strawberry was a leftover, now its proper beetle jello

oops... sorry to hear that your male stag died...

I think with the new materials, your setup will look awesome!

Saw a documentary about beetle fighting yesterday night on National Geographic. The beetles actually only lives for 3 months. Most of the time they are in larvae stage. Think you better hurry & look for a mate for the females to breed for you before they die.

How fast do they reproduce? Think 3mth life-span is a bit on the short side for a pet.

is it legal to keep stag beetles?

If you wanna find stag beetles, I think there're quite alot in Sembawang. Went to Sembawang Boy's Brigade camp for my Sec 3 camp, the corridors are full of them, and apparently they're quite big too.

just wondering are these beetles hard to keep ?

**desmondxwee** · 2nd Feb 2016, 23:52

Actually they are expensive to obtain, but maintainance is really simple and fool proof, just making sure environment is moist and their diet mainly consists of banana and apple, that's about it ha ha

thats really cool

had always wondered where all the beetles went. i used to see them often just about anywhere occasionally such as hdb corridors, staircase, walkways etc and suddenly over the years, they totally disappeared ! and i was still thinking about it last few days and immediately i saw a bump on this thread haha. would a cover be required to keep them ?
