1 x Scarabaeus Sacer | Sacred Scarab Beetle

 

Care:

Substrate: Provide a deep layer (at least 15–25cm) of sandy loam, coco coir, or topsoil mix to allow for tunneling and breeding.

Temperature: Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 24–30°C.

Humidity: Keep the habitat relatively dry, with humidity levels around 30-60%. While they are arid species, light misting of the substrate may be necessary occasionally, but avoid making it waterlogged.

Space: A large, horizontal enclosure is required, as they are active and move dung balls

 

Diet and Nutrition

Dung Source: S. sacer feed on mammal dung. The best sources are herbivores, such as horses, goats, or rabbits.

Feeding: Fresh dung should be provided regularly. They form this into balls, roll it, and bury it to eat, a process known as ball-rolling.
