I have 2 beetles dying, one of them is in late stages of death with its legs curled up, the other is what I can only describe as “stuck in drive”. It can’t keep itself righted, and its only mode seems to be legs-go-forward. I don’t know how this has happened, up until now I’ve had a healthy, active bunch of buddies. This is 50% of my colony, and a really big deal to me 😭
Does anyone know what could have gone wrong, and is there anything I can do to help my pals?
Tank has been established for almost 2 years, NOTHING has changed recently and their parameters are normal (humidity is a bit on the high side at 32%, we’ve been having a lot of rain recently) an their daytime/nightime temperatures have been staying in their normal ranges of 28-33 and 11-15 celsius. I’m thinking this looks like poisoning, I’ve removed cleaned and replaced their food dish, but I haven’t fed them anything out of the ordinary. I’m devastated 😭
