If you give more proteins to Scarab's food they will grow much larger than specimens captured in the wild. I've tested this on few species and it really works. I've never tried this with stag beetles, so I can't help with that family.

Protein rich foods like cat kibbles seem to go uneaten buy my Dynastids... Unless their substrate is all but gone. even one piece of kibble always causes a proliferance of mites. With my Cetonids larvae they will eat handfuls and the drier substrate makes it hard for mites to survive. I think i will try Hiroshi Kojima's formula mixed with dry horse dung... My wife will love me for this i'm sure I would like to know if there are any other protein supplements that will work besides fish food, cat kibble, and things that rot so quickly. That is why fungle supplements are sounding good to me.
