Breed Beetles for the Test of Khefre's Children. (To store beetles without breeding them, use a Khefre's Locker instead.)
You must have at least a male and a female in the terrarium for them to breed.
Cabbage consumption
Beetles eat cabbage while they are in the terrarium. Expect to run through at least 200 cabbage per real life day breeding beetles. Upgrading with a thermometer will cut the amount of cabbage consumed by 1/3 (beetles will only eat 2/3 as much). If you run out of cabbage, the beetles will stop breeding and some will disappear.
Beetle browsing
You can use the arrows at the bottom of the window to browse the currently loaded beetles. You can also browse through the beetles in your inventory by clicking on the center button labeled "inventory". This is a toggle.
Breeding
You need at least one male and one female to begin breeding. The beetle population will not update on its own, you must do something to "refresh" the terrarium beyond just clicking on it, such as clicking the left and right arrows to browse through the beetles in the terrarium.
Over crowding
Beetles will start disappearing if there are too many of them in the terrarium. It has been suggested that this cutoff begins at about 15 beetles, though the actual population can climb into at least the high 20s. The beetles which disappear can be named ones you've placed in the terrarium, so be especially careful leaving your favorite beetle unattended.
To build
- 12 Sheet Glass
- 3 Linen
- 100 Dirt
- Built: in a compound, uses 9x9 cells
