Here we have a small active species of beetle which are a little more unusual in the hobby but still very easy to care for.
They are feeding on leafy greens, seeds, pre-killed crickets , locust and will take meal worms, they really are natures dustbins. Their substrate should consist of sand and clay or sand gravel mix. They also need cork hides. Keep then on the dry side as they are a desert species and get all their moisture from their food so a water dish is not required for these beetles.
