Title: Dermestids?
Post by: dermy on May 09, 2010, 09:53:01 am
Okay i have a few questions on dermestid beetles:
1-Can they climb glass/hard plastic?
2-How often should you feed them?
3-What can i feed them besides meat?
4-How many beetles are considered a starter colony?[Is there even such thing as a starter colony?]
Thanks in advance.

1-No but in a glass aqurium make sure the silicone around the edges are gone.
2-3-5 times a week and ajust as colony grows
3-Dog/cat food.
4-There is no such thing its just how much you start with your suggestion of 10-20 is a great starter.
Hope this helps.
