Hisserdude Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I have 3 of these, and I got them to lay eggs. They don't seem really productive though, I can only see 2 larva in their cage. They love to burrow! Hope your beetle does good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexW Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yes, mine seems to be underground at all times except a short period in the afternoon. Have you noticed what food they prefer? Mine does not seem to actively approach fruit and even when placed on top only feeds for a brief period.

Hisserdude Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 They eat dog food, this seems to be a darkling beetle's favorite food. I also put carrot in their cage, but they seem not to eat it. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
