Does anyone have any experience keeping Scaphinotus alive? I figure I would use some soil from where I collected them as substrate, and huckleberries as food (which I've read they will readily eat while kept in captivity). A small dish with wet moss should provide enough water, right?
I'll be keeping them as temporary pets for my son, then releasing them back where I found them in a few months.
My main question is how to keep mold down. I understand there is a type of commercially available substrate that has a natural component that discourages mold, but I don't remember what it is off the top of my head.
