[QUOTE="Jacqux, post: 343996, member: 10338"] Update: my third beetle also started acting strange, first having stiffer movements, and now she keeps flipping onto her back as well. I’m worried from this behavior that maybe there was a pesticide in one of the foods they were given, or maybe even a fungus? I’ve been giving them mostly green beans, broccoli, & cauliflower (especially the stem of this), but 2 weeks ago my mom put some strawberries in the tank while I was away, which I took out as soon as I saw them because I know those usually have a lot of pesticides, but I never deep cleaned the tank. I just gave the tank a complete clean and even wiped down the decorations, here’s hoping the damage isn’t too bad and they can get better.... [/QUOTE]
