This is a calorie-rich substrate made from 100% oak sawdust, which Great Horned Stag Beetles prefer most, and finished with the highest quality Himalayan Hiratake mushroom culture.

We've further refined the ordinary Himalayan Hiratake substrate into finer particles for easier consumption and added three times the amount of nutritional supplements, including trehalose, glucose, chitosan, royal jelly, highly active gluten, arginine, calcium, minerals, enzymes, yeast, special amino acids, and symbiotic bacteria.

We use only fresh sawdust, not discarded substrate, to create our new mushroom culture, which is then finely ground and slowly fermented indoors.

This is our ultimate, meticulously crafted substrate, fermented three times with significant cost and time investment.

Other companies' fermented substrates often use discarded substrate or ferment outdoors, leading to the presence of unwanted insects and fruit flies.

Our calorie-rich substrate, however, is made from freshly prepared mushroom culture and slowly fermented in a controlled indoor environment, ensuring absolutely no contamination with unwanted insects.

We've received many repeat customers thanks to the large individuals that are consistently produced.

Even with the same mushroom culture, substrate finished with Himalayan Hiratake mushroom culture is highly preferred by stag beetles and results in larger individuals.

Himalayan Hiratake is expensive and difficult to obtain.

This substrate has been developed over many years of research specifically for domestic and foreign Great Horned Stag Beetles.

While perfect for Great Horned Stag Beetles, it is also readily consumed by Miyama Stag Beetles and Sawtooth Stag Beetles.

This substrate is also popular among breeders of Sumatran Stag Beetles and Rainbow Stag Beetles.

It is also recommended for Forked-tail Stag Beetles!

(Naturally, it is also highly consumed by foreign and domestic rhinoceros beetles such as Hercules beetles.)

The key to raising large adult stag beetles is to feed the larvae plenty of high-quality food during their larval stage.

With high-quality substrate, stag beetle larvae will continue to eat voraciously.

It is economical for breeding, as it can be used in bottles, portioned into pudding cups, or as egg-laying substrate.
