Will clay harm my Blue death feigning beetles?

I want to make my beetles a home made out of polymer oven bake clay. Multiple floors and climbing things and such. Will this poison them?

Hmmm... probably best to do some research online and know what type of clay you are using, but I don't think clay is generally toxic so I think that sounds okay.

 
I would think that it would be safe for your beetles, mine have LOVED the clay hides I have made for them. If your research doesnt yield much and you are still on edge, I would advise you to do a ‘test run’ in a seprate container with just one beetle under close supervision. If the beetle seems fine after a day or two, you’re good!
