I first started watching these videos to help culture food; yet I feel like actually taking care of these and the others than to use them as food.

trying to culture the sp. of bean beetles that live in Mesquite beans because they are ubundant in my area in the summer right now I have some of the beans with larva in them and a few have already come out as adults :)

I love the bean Beatles for my poison dart frogs. One thing I will say that I don't like about bean Beatles is they seem to get out of the vivarium quicker than fruit flies.

+The Fish Tank Guy 9057 Yes, I agree. Fruit flies will hang around a feeding station, bean beetles seem to like to go straight up.

Question to you or anyone- how do you prevent bean beetles from escaping on the sides towards the tops of the lids? Is there a substance or material that could work, as how Vaseline keeps roach colonies from eacaping?
@Aquarimax

I just used the tapping method…I wonder if Roach No-crossing or a similar substance would work? I no longer work with these beetles, so I can’t experiment

@Aquarimax Pets Fair enough. And thanks for the response! I'm now working on breeding Electric Blues, and my female is gravid. Looking for affordable, cost-effective alternatives to raise the tiny hatchlings individually as to sex them out in the months to come. In any case, keep up the great work!

@Aquarimax Pets Fruit flies, as I have a pair of tiny Cameroon dwarf geckos that I am attempting to breed. I may have to upgrade them into a slight larger enclosure, and perhaps add an extra female just in case, in the near future. But I also have my own dubia colony for my cuban false chameleons, leopard and amel african fat tails and box turtles, as well as kickstarting my small mealworm farm.

They are efficient at reclaiming metabolic water (water produced as a byproduct of metabolism) many beetles, in , can do that.
