Oh boy. There's a crook in my Harlequin flower beetle's hind leg. She can still move it, but mainly remains crooked up. Usually crooked legs are a bad sign, their legs are weak and are going to break. I've had her for 4 months, which she should have another 2 months ahead of her. She's been falling on her back more often, unable to get up(I often find her asleep on her back.) and I have to flip her over.
I'm using coconut fiber and shreaded rotten wood as substrate and she's naturally clumbsy when treading through it. I am going to make a nice leaf litter and compost soil substrate for the tank when the stuff comes in the mail. When gently touched she can move it which is rather strange. Could it be an injury from trying to get off her back that might be able to heal on it's own? Anyone else have this problem?
