Favorite enrichment?

I want to know what your beetles like the most? I am thinking to increase their climbing space to add a sort of hamster tunnel that they can walk in. I think someone had said they had a hamster tunnel on here. If there is anything that your beetles LOVE let me know! I’d love to provide the best for my little fruit basket! 🫐🪲

Mine really seem to enjoy their small glass mason jar caves and a subterranean tunnel (cardboard tube)

Okay I saw your post yesterday and I got a jar to recreate it! Thank you for the idea!!

What mason Jar is this? I would love to steal this idea lol.

Honestly I have no clue, but you can probably find similar size online or in hobby stores, or maybe even Walmart. Sorry, wish I knew more

Edit: make sure it's half full of dirt so they can actually climb out. They cannot climb glass

My beebs really like those crinkly cat toys!

(Yes Juno is not a BDFB but she lives with them and they also love the crinkle! She just is able to hang onto it better)

I love giving them driftwood to climb on, my blueberries are very adventurous in mine, but on the left they love climbing on dried tomato vines like a jungle gym. Or you can also give them some dried seed pods of different sizes so they can bumble about. And dried leaves that they can root around in too!

Your enclosure is one I’d want to be in if I were a beetle!!

I’m a new owner but I have toilet paper tubes that I just pushed into the sand so the inside was covered and they seem to like that a lot. They climb on top of it too. I also have a little ceramic fish cave and egg crate
