I feed my collareds zoophobas which i might add they love with all there heartbut as is always the case not all are eaten and make it to beetlehood(?)anyway none of my collareds will give these the time of day ever,no matter how hungry,zoophoba beatles are not seen as food either that,the collareds know something i dont.Does any1 here have a collared who has even attempted to eat a zoophoba beetle,or if u know why they wont eat can u share it with meFYI i have a large male leo who tried once and the sound it made (crunching chitin)gives me the suspicion that the shells on these beetles is extra tough,anyway hercules (leos name)spat it out after he gave up on trying to break it open,and if u really want detail the beetle got up and walked of minus a leg
your thought please?
see yah later

loves them Jason. Absolutely grabs them, and such a LOUD CRUNCH !
But smell your hand after picking one up, PHEW, no wonder the collareds hate them. None of my collareds will eat them either. I buy 1000 supers at a time, and they dont last long, alot of my lizards eat them, so not many turn into the beetles. But when they do Auggie the dragon gets a beetle treat !!! Eve
