I just discovered this channel the other day and I absolutely love it. I'm going to tell everyone I know about it, because I know at least one person who'll love it.
Awww thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
hey my Rainbow stags just emergeded and have been burrowed hiding for 3 weeks now is that normal?
Yup, that's pretty normal, these beetles are naturally elusive in the wild and will hide. Have they begun eating yet? If so, then they're ready to mate but if not then should be soon!
They look like a dual-horned rhino beetle with those mandibles.
Honestly a really cool way to look at it haha
I love this channel
There's a lot more comin!
Grant White Beetle next
Oooh, I think you'll like the next video that's coming out soon then, pretty similar but I'll cover the one you recommended another time.
@@beetlecast Yay 😆
Great video!
Golden stag beetle pls
Oooh that's a real good one! Definitely high priority
@@beetlecast thanks
nice
My son wants to try raising some. Any tips for new beginners or good places to buy?
That’s awesome! They’re a great beetle to raise.
If you’re in the US, there’s several online sellers such as David’s beetles or jamjamexotic. If UK, there’s Richard’s inverts.
The hardest part is probably getting them but if they arrive safe and healthy, then we’re good to go! Make sure there’s food (beetle jelly/fruit) in the cage, occasionally spritz water so it’s not dry, and keep them around 68-74 Fahrenheit.
Those are the bare-bone basics so be sure to also check out some guides online.
Wish you and your son the best!
ZWEI GEWEIH
So cool!!!
Haha right?!
So cute
is there more colors?
They're normally like the ones in the thumbnail (Green with the streaks of red) but selective breeding has produced solid blue, purple, red, and green ones. They all have that amazing sheen!
@@beetlecast oh thank you for the response
I was wondering because I will have a Japanese rhino beetle soon, I love beetles
@@rcuzumaki3482 Ayyy that's awesome, Kabutomushi are an amazing beetle! Also really appreciate that you commented on that video :) Glad to see other people loving beetles as much as I do!
Hay I need suggestion, why my rainbow stag not eating the banana or jelly i give
I have them about 2 week and im worry so much
If it’s two weeks after emerging as an adult then it’s perfectly normal! Give them a little bit more time and they’ll start eating soon :)
@@beetlecast hayyyy thank youuu so much for your tips, my beetles already eat now and started mating they look so healthy even sometimes i see a little smol white insect at their body
@@genkakuyume9655 Ayyy that's great to hear! I wish the best for breeding :D
If there's ever too many of those little white mites on their body then you can give a quick rinse under water but you should be fine.
This was really well documented, and had enough energy that it kept my ADHD brain engaged, without becoming overwhelmed. Good pacing, not a bombardment of information and good camera footage. Well done mate. I'm subscribing
Thanks I really appreciate it! I put a lot of work into these videos so it always makes my day when a comment like yours pops up :D
