Im not worried about keeping the beetles. Im worried about making the substrate. Somemore need leave there for a month one. Sheeeesh..

IF thats the case then I would suggest you stick with rhino beetles,can just use store bought compost

Nvm la I'll try my best to make the substrates. I think putting the substrate out in the balcony for a month should be okay.. It has shade and all. But if it rains.... :\

Oh.. What are the yeast and wheat flour for? I mean I know it's used to make the substrate, but what purpose does it serve?

Thanks bro that was indeed a good read.

So, I just have to do this ;

Procedures:
STEP 1: Make mulch completely dry under direct sun or by any other means.
STEP 2: Mix the mulch with wheat flour. Then, pour water into them and stir them well.
STEP 3: Put some yeast and stir well.
STEP 4: Keep it at 25 or more degrees C. This makes the substrate well fermented.
STEP 5: Stir it at least once a day until its temperature returns normal. It may take one month.


And then my larvae will be well fed already?

Wood mulch no one selling,either get it from the forest or get sawdust from factories
Wood chips for reptile bedding will also work,just make sure you get those without pesticides and are from hardwood trees smile.gif
