I've noticed in my colony huddiling!This means mating season.

I'm no expert at this but since most people use their beetles to clean skulls i thought i'd deticate a thread about keeping them just to this!

Enclosure:
Okay so there is no way in the world a skull is gonna fit into a kritter keeper so those are out of the question.Tanks are your best bet.If you need to do a ton of skulls though a freezer setup is the way to go.I have no real clue on how to make those though.Lets say you went with a tank for the saik of the tutorial.
Substrate/bedding:
I know i said i don't use bedding but if your gonna do skulls you need bedding.I have heard that these are the best to use:
1-Shredded newsprint
2-Something called critter care
3-Cotton bathing
4-Paper towels
You need bedding for them to hide from the elements since most people don't keep them in their house.They also seem to pupate and lay eggs in their substrate.
Food inbetween skulls:
So its not skull season eh?What in the world should i feed my hungry workers?I'd say skip dog food.Too risky for skull cleaners.Go with meat.Lunch meat,leftovers from cutting off the exsessive meat.The best is to get squirels and gut them and skin them.
Hopefully this helps if you need anything else ask on the forum

Ha ha ha yeah that is true 

Nice.I dislike it because they make a mess of it anyway.Of course they do make there own in the form of frass and stuff.

Ah so do most people i chose not to because of these three facters:
1-Don't have one
2-My colony is small
3-Don't wanna get one!

I use cardboard egg flats and they work well.

Do you use any hides for your beetles?

I perfer no substrate as then the beetles can't hide away too badly.They still have their egg flats.

Which do you think is better no substrate or substrate?

I use something called a kritter keeper.I think as my colony grows i'll melt a small hole in the plastic and add a tube into another kritter keeper.

What do you guys use as enclosures for the beetles?

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.

Thats a good start.I always like to start small and work my way up.

No proplem.
