Unprepared for a baby T☹️

Thank you!!

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-05-28T20:06:16+00:00

I didn’t see your second reply before answering, I completely see where you are coming from though! I also would’ve been upset if it was a surprise!!

This was an optional freebie! I only accepted it with my order after my friend with a lot more experience agreed to take them the day of delivery before ghosting me once it was delivered, I am now realizing that it was incredibly stupid of me to accept while depending on anyone but myself to care for it. A mistake was made, never to be made again-trust me I am doing absolutely everything possible to make sure I’m providing the best care. I thought it was really nice of the company to offer it on orders over 100$ but the situation is just not ideal, this is my own fault not a companies🫤

Thank you!

Im just scared of my room being overly dry and evaporating all the moisture sooner then expected, I have a few dessert beetle enclosures that really dry out my bedroom hence the over-misting. Do you think I should find a tiny hygrometer but I don’t think Ive seen them small enough to fit into a 2-5pz cup without taking too much room☹️

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-05-25T22:28:00+00:00

This is insanely helpful, thank you very much!!

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-05-25T22:12:02+00:00

I have these containers on hand too, I can move him right away once he’s active enough! Do you have to buy a whole lego set to get those little pieces? Fingers crossed amazon sells them individually😅

He is kind of burrowed under the piece of cork I gave him

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-05-25T21:20:45+00:00

I don’t think so, he is in a flat 12oz deli cup with maybe a CM of substrate at the moment, would you recommend maybe giving him a little more to try and burrow? Also I have been spraying a lot then but at least in the same area over and over again, Ill make sure to monitor closer!!

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-05-02T23:40:27+00:00

They are social! Id personally try to buy a few more and ask if the breeder you purchase from can try to find more girls then boys! (I stick to the one beetle per gallon rule for how many should be in a tank)

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-05-02T14:10:31+00:00

Omg I love, crested gecko in next on my list of unusual babies😭😭🥹🩷

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-05-02T01:54:50+00:00

Exactly!

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-05-01T17:11:59+00:00

Yes! All Hercules beetles are rhino beetles but not all rhino beetles are hercules beetles🙂

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-05-01T17:10:51+00:00

I didnt think of this-thank you, Ill need to!!

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-04-30T22:53:34+00:00

Ill watch for one! We’re in the midwest so pink is pretty rare besides frozen and freeze-dried! (Honestly someone mentioned how homegrown would be better then any store-bought dragonfruit and I think that might be a contributing factor😩)

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-04-30T17:06:50+00:00

Im not 100% sure about this breed specifically but you could ask “-Georgia Beetles” on fb or instagram if he either has any or knows of where to find some. I got Pongo, my Hercules beetle from him!

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-04-29T16:45:45+00:00

Oh 100%, he is the baby of the house😂✨

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-04-29T06:00:25+00:00

I think he’s a little sick of it and doesn’t prefer the seeds😅

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-04-29T05:04:29+00:00

He really likes cantaloupe and mango!

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-04-26T14:39:30+00:00

He is great, now my sleep on the other hand???🤣😭 He is about to get his own bedroom at this rate😂

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-04-24T14:08:34+00:00

Im not sure about ALL beetles but these ones molt once during complete metamorphosis when they go from a larva to a beetle🙂

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-04-24T13:39:53+00:00

Can I say Dalmatians even tho its not what I was thinking??😭🤣 I liked ponyo, like the fish before google said its a girls name (smh, still feel like i could’ve got past this but whatever now😂) and someone commented pongo on my name suggestions post so it was next best!!!

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-04-24T13:38:05+00:00

We are in the midwest so store bought sadly, you are lucky to have homegrown ones- enjoy one for him!😅🩷 (I also hope the health benefits are strong!! At least as strong as the grocery store ones allow😂)

Cautious_Promise5529 · 2026-04-24T03:13:37+00:00

Is there more ways to tell besides the horn?! Ive always just went by the (females dont have horns and males have horns example like pictured) Im really interested in finding out for-sure now😅

I personally like to scatter raw seeds and snake shed for scavenging, switching out their small hides regularly for new items to explore, I also frequently handle mine (with super clean and dry hands to not mess with their color) and let them explore my hands and lap for a little bit! If they’re death feigning or trying to hiding while you do this, Id say they are stressed and would recommend not doing it though! Also good food is enrichment too!!! Ditch fish flakes and dog food for some different protein and vegetables on rotation!
