I'm thinking of buying a dynastes hercules ecuatorianus (a subspecies of the hercules beetle) and rearing it in captivity, but I don't know jack shit about raising rhinoceros beetles. I've found a guide (http://www.naturalworlds.org/scarabaeidae/manual/hercules/Dynastes_hercules_breeding_1.htm) some chink wrote detailing about revealing the more natural cycles of a beetle, but I just want the tl;dr version. Thusly;

-How much does it cost?
-What do I feed it in larvae form?
-What do I feed it when fully grown?
-How often do I have to clean it? Etc.

I'm also not retarded when it comes to purchasing quality larvae as the guide states.

one thing's for certain. You must train it hard. Make it drag a rock around and enter it in competitions.

Beetles FTW

I bought mine for about $30, but i got mine at a reptile show from a very good breeder, so you can probably get them cheaper then that. In larve form they usually eat roots, so like vegies and stuff on top of it or covering it, it'll munch em good. When it's grown they actually have hercules beetle food you can buy, it's like super high sugar melon stuff, so you could jsut feed him fruits. Clean the cage or the beetle? The cage like once a week fully clean it, not cause of how dirty it is, cause a beetle won't make a mes, but for prevention of sickness. Clean the beetle.....never, you can play with it but if you scrub it or put it in water...it might block his air passages he ahs on his legs and therefore detroy his little beetle life.
