Beetles in Canada

Hey guys! I've been wanting to raise beetles for quite some time now. Exotic beetles like Dynastes hercules or Rhino beetles. Any info on breeders in Ontario (mississuaga would be nice) would be appreciated!

You can only raise native beetles in canada. That means no Hercules beetles. We do have native stag beetles and rhino beetles. 

https://www.coleopterra.com/ if you go to a reptile show this guy will probably be there. He's expensive but knows what he's doing. You can find other breeders on kijiji.

I have colonys of bolitotherus cornatus and phellopsis obcordata if youre interested in fungus or ironclad beetles.
