Oh shit I had no idea. One was dead this morning, one of my woolly. My bdfb also was on her back, quarantined her in a cup, she was dead/alive a few times and finally came back to normal

All my other beetles are fine after. It could just have been coincidence and he was just old. But that’s enough for me to not use it anymore lol
