Japanese Pets title=

Look closely before you pick these up at the super market thinking that these are salads...

Japanese Pets title=

I find it interesting that folks in Japan love to keep these Kabuto Mushi (otherwise known as stag beetles) as pets. I can understand a dog but huge beetles is something I am having difficulty comprehending ^^;

This kid was like "dad please get me this one!"

That pic in the middle is just gross! Looks like something from Aliens.

Japanese Pets title=

I dont have any knowledge of these things at all but wonder what their lifespan is.

Also wonder if kids do evil things to these beetles once they got them like stick them in a microwave or dishwasher.

Shelves of beetle goods - food and objects for the beetles to play with.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

    Remember that episode of Samurai Champloo where they have beetles fight and they bet on it? I wonder if they really do that. If they did I could see me and my friends raising battle beetles!

    Sad news about the death from the earthquakes. When I went to a super store in Hong Kong I saw beetles being sold as pets as well with all the stupid accessories they "need". Bringing back old school beetle fights are apparently gaining popularity, kids are probably tired of the digital ones lol.

    I remember seeing a stag beetle arcade game, were you train em to fight. Maybe thats part of the reason why people like to keep them as pets? I can understand why people keep dogs, cats or birds but insects dont do anything. Unless your like Agitha from twilight princess ^^;

    Danny I'm sure youve seen the mushi arcade games, but its basically that.
    People buy and train stag bettles to fight each other in "sumo" wrestling. They have tournaments and stuff for cash prizes.
    Its basically like pokemon except real life ;p

    I think is more fun have a tamagochi than a beetle but ok, maybe i don´t understand the loyalty, cheerful and joy of having a insect

    these beetles were also a big hype when i was a primary school kid- but didn't manage to catch one though.

    the japanese has this fascination with insect collecting. in fact, the Pokemon creator, Satoshi Tajiri, is his favorite past-time as a child.

    selling bugs at your local supermarket kills the fun of hunting insects...

    If you watched Samurai Champloo one of the main characters trains one of these to fight so that he could gamble on it. If I had one I would do the same thing :0. Anyways Danny do you think you could send me an email? I kinda want to ask you something.

    Speaking of insects, it seems that they have an ability to predict earthquakes. I once saw a kid with a praying mantis in Japan. He let it crawl all over his face and everything.

    I'd prefer letting them roam in the wild. Interaction with them would be very limited even if they need little maintenance.

    Every time I see a small insect (such as a single ant) or a rather small, inoffensive spider in the house and I can catch it, I put it on a piece of paper and let it go out.
    No, no squishing, no call for the exterminator. ^_^;

    Yeah, even for stag beetles, I would be tempted to set them free and smile as they return to the wildlife...

    Yup, I've got no problems with animals. Earthworms, spiders, millipedes, snakes, rats and so on, I like them. (Do I hear "Ewww!" in the assistance? Thanks!)

    There are even competitions with battles between 2 or more beetles.
    It's actually cool to see them fight. They don't kill each other but they have to get the other one off its feet.

    I don´t like bugs, because their legs creeps me. Beetles are worst. Though I like rats, snakes and scorpions...

    Cool! I would get a Kabuto Mushi as a pet when in Japan, but the family I'm to be staying with has a dog, so theirs a risk of the Mushi being eaten... heh. Also, I've just gotten the horrible image of someone eating one of them instead of salad 0_0 .

    i wouldn't mind keeping one as a pet. there isn't a big risk of getting bitten or poisoned as compared to owning a spider. I remember how as a kid growing up back in the Phiilippines, you would see vendors around elementary schools selling spiders. kids would buy em and make em fight in a sumo-style match.

    in all i think its helpful to get kids to engage with something interactive with nature rather than letting them play video games all day.

    Condolences to the injured and lives lost in the quake... How much longer till the Earth's crust finally settles its place? Glad to hear you're still in 1 piece Danny.

    Subject at hand... Beetles as cleaner and cooler looking as they are compared to cockroaches do excrete during battle. D: No kidding, there are lots of em here they know where to lay their waste.

    However if you manage to catch one (or several) and contain it (like keep it settled on your hand, encase it on some box or make them wrestle) after like 10mins + it'll eventually let it's crap out.

    to Smokie they do have beetle wrestling. They usually use stags and rhino beetles. I would say Im definetly into entomology and love all insects, but the beetles are by far my favorites. I consider them the tanks of the insect world. There just so strong and carry all that armor. They make me think of the Tachikomas and other mech designs that come from the insect world. Fantastic, living in Florida, Ive seen a few stags and rhinos here, but nothing compared to the size of how they grow in Japan. Truly amazing

    I found two beetles in my garden so I kept them in a container with dirt and rocks n small plants etc etc, fed them other bugs I found around. I also had a different container with some worms, so I decided to move the beetles to that container. The beetles dug through the dirt, hunted the worm down, and ate it alive. Even though the beetles ate more than half of it, the worm was still trying to escape.

    I also had a pet wolf spider and called her Shelob, afitting name since it was huge. (for a wolf spider at least)

    Wow it's great to hear a guy's view on this for once! Despite the stereotype that girls hate creepy bugs, i find those beetles to be incredibly cute and just plain awesome! Mom, please get me one!

    I think Japan is the only place where people can say "I bought my pet beetle from a grocery store and my car and underwear from a vending machine."

    I would maybe get one, just to see if they have any fun factor at all. I suppose they are cheap and low maintainance, and above all, small making them perfect for the japanese, especially those who live in the city and dont have any or enough land to own dogs or cats.
