dylan5588 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hi all, Do any of you use Dermestid beetles for cleaning skulls? I have just started a colony but they don't seem to be eating the flesh very much. any tips on environment, habitat etc would be appreciated.

dylan5588 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 good evening ,don't know if it helps but I have always used maggots probably wrong time of year for them though. I found the trouble with using maggots is, 1 the smell, 2 they tend to discolour the bone with the smelly sludge. The Dermestid beetle is supposed to be a much cleaner way of doing it.
