Phanaeus vindex (rainbow dung beetles)

[vinegaroonie]

I'm going to have some young phanaeus vindex dung beetle larvae very soon. Pm me if interested, I will notify you when ready.

I'm curious, how do you plan on shipping them? Don't they have a brood ball? Not trying to call you out or anything, I'm just curious to how one ships those

 

[vinegaroonie]

I was shipped the larva that are now my adults in xl deli cups filled with dung. The larva were gently buried in the dung and shipped in a tightly packed box with cold packs.

 

[pannaking22]

Huh, well I'll be. I thought the larvae were really sensitive to disturbance. Learned something new today

Thanks!

 

[vinegaroonie]

They are pretty sensitive so i'm trying to grow them up a little before I sell for the best possible chance of survival.

not sure if this is true but, if you eat healthy stuff(no junk food and all that), human dung is actually good for the larva lol.

And that brings up the subject . . . what type of dung will they be shipped in?

Hehehe! I know it's a valid question, but your phrasing and timing rivals most comedians. Thanks for the chuckle this morning.

Cheers

It's true...I'm trying to be mature I swear!

When I get these I'm going to try coatimundi dung.

Thats cool, where are you gonna get it from though? XD They will be shipped in swine dung as this is the second most viable food source next to human dung of course.

A friend of mine has a pet coatimundi as well as a kinkajou...I can consider these "treats"

One day I will test this and get back to you. Not today...but one day!
