Going Bioactive: the “Cleanup Crew” You Need (Dermestid Beetles Explained)

[Conrad Lucas]

Dermestid beetles can be a crucial part of your bioactive vivarium’s cleanup crew. They specialize on taking care of hard, dry material like shed skin and uneaten food. Along with some isopods and springtails, there’s not much your cleanup crew won’t be able to handle. But dermestids aren’t perfect for every situation. Check out our full article to see how to set up your bioactive habitat for dermestid beetles.

I really appreciated the insights on using Dermestid beetles as a bioactive cleanup crew! When I first started my vivarium, I was overwhelmed by how to maintain a balanced ecosystem. Incorporating beetles not only helped manage waste but also deepened my understanding of the interconnectedness in nature. It’s fascinating how such small creatures can play critical roles—reminding us that every organism has value. This approach encourages us to rethink our methods of sustainability and animal care, connecting broader environmental practices to our own little ecosystems at home.
