Chloe Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Hi guys, Newbie here. I have a rainbow stag that’s just turning into a beetle right now from pupal stage. Problem is he’s on his side and was just wondering if that’s a problem. I thought they needed to stretch out and harden? I’m reluctant to disturb him but don’t want him coming out deformed if it can be helped any help appreciated Chloe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about it, unless the pupal chamber is destroyed, and he CANNOT flip himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been on his side all day but moving plenty and I think he maybe can’t get purchase on the Perspex to turn. Am I being too worried or should I turn the box?
