[QUOTE="Jacqux, post: 343992, member: 10338"] Hey everyone, I got some blue death feigning beetles last October and have had no difficulties with them, but last night 2 of my beetles started playing dead. I hadn’t handled them, and one of them hasn’t ever played dead when I handle him, but I figured maybe someone accidentally bumped the tank and they got upset. When I poke their legs they do move them and adjust so I do say they are playing dead. Now it’s morning and they’re still in the same position. I’m trying to figure out what could be stressing them and make them come back to normal. Last night, I took the old food out of the tank (green bean pieces, they usually feed well on these) and I put in some new broccoli chunks and my 3rd beetle came and ate some broccoli. I don’t know what else to do for them.... [/QUOTE]
