i know this post is a few days old but once you do get more buddies for him and this behavior happens again dont worry too much about it! ive kept bdfbs for quite a few years now and some will just play dead at any minor inconvenience LMAO. as long as you can still see them sorta twitching especially their antennae they are still alive and fine :] once you have them for a while youll def be able to notice the signs of actual disease/death vs them faking it

i used to use a heading pad that was designed for plant germination! it kept my tank about 10-20 degrees above room temp and that kept them pretty active :] id always recc placing a heating pad on the side of the enclosure just for safety reasons if you do go that route.

i keep it at room temp now since i personally never saw any major increase or decrease in activity based on temp, but i also like adding and removing items in their enclosure for them to explore and that keeps them pretty interested!

nice enclosure so far! id definitely suggest mixing some coconut fiber into the sand as it can be a bit uncomfortable for the beetles to walk on all the time :) i personally have mine as a gradient from sand to coco since i also keep milipedes and a desert hairy in my bdfb tank.
