sun/fruit beetle

[mr stroudy]

ok so i know the beetle larvae is fine to feed although as a treat but how does the beetle compare?

is it ok to use the beetle as food?

i bought some ages ago and now have a few beetles so just wondered could i put them in and see what happens.

It would probably be ok as long as it is one of the smaller species. I have used a small species of Pachnoda in the past with no problems. The larger species tend to have some pretty sharp claws. Gut load them well with fresh papaya or mango. first
