Rainbow dung beetles

Just got some rainbow dung beetles from Peter at bugsincyberspace!!! Very excited to try and breed them. Does anyone have any advice?

 
I use a large plastic tote filled with sifted dirt from the yard. For the lid I used two pieces of thick glass that overlapped a little - they are diurnal so needed the light.

For food / brood balls I used cow dung. Keep in a sunny place but out of direct sunlight, and be careful opening the cover because they can fly very well.
