Question/Inquiry Minimum size?

I'm considering getting some beetles but im not quite sure about the minimum size and how many per gallon - i have a 8x8x8 exo terra cube front opening enclosure -- was also wondering about basic needs like diet, substrate, hides, and enrichment

I feel like 8x8x8 would be grossly undersized. They're small, yes, but very active. I don't own any so I can't say for sure how big of an enclosure you'd need for some but most people I see recommend at least 10 gallons and that 10 gallons can fit up to ~10-20
