When I was younger I had this stag beetle with jaws like half an inch or so it was reddish brown in color. Anyway does anyone have any experience keeping these?

Strange how now that I got a T I keep thinking back to all the cool things I used to keep as a kid. I guess you never really grow up

Stag beetles are very cool. Adults can be fed watered-down maple syrup from a shallow dish.
