Love this kind of videos where you explain the whole process as it goes on! Personally when it comes to hands and feet of smaller animals I'd rather leave the skin on or remove the limb early and manually clean it, cause assembling all the small bones (specially on the wrist part) is borderline impossible.
I'm brand new to your channel so I apologize if you've covered this before; would there be an illness/infection that an animal died from that you would not allow your beetles to consume? Would eating infectious tissue cause problems for your colony? Thanks for all of the great content so far!
None that I'm aware of. The only danger to the beetles from a corpse is either possible contamination (like an invasive pest, or a wild beetle carrying mites/disease) or an animal that has been treated with insecticide (like a flea collar).
It was really gripping to watch how they cleaned the tail and I was really stressed hoping that it doesnt fall off the edge haha
Saaaame 😂
Aww rip lil guy. Sad to see the lil guy in such poor condition.. you did an awesome job cleaning him/her though, good work mate! 🥰

I usually do the limbs separate, so at least I know all of THESE white specks belong to the front left leg!
Damn those beetles are ravenous not as much as the main colony but still damn
truly amazing
If you had a real slick, narrow dish (like a pen tray); maybe that could prevent them from dragging the tail apart/away?..
Can you stop the beetles from flying or once they start flying they will always fly????

I had to watch this twice because the first time I was too busy worrying about the tail and the hand disappearing off the edge 😅
