TIPP: (EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW)
1) They spawn inside the LOWER SOUTH CAVE and you can easily tame them up PASSIB using ROTTEN FLESH
2) If you put POOP inside their Inventory and let them WALK they will produce FRETILIZER and OIL after a period of time
3) I would recommend to JUST LVL UP THEIR WEIGHT so they can CARRY MORE POOP and PRODUCE more FERTILIZER and OIL
4) Build a small enclosure (or a box) for them to walk around inside it and also place a feeding trough filled with rotten flesh if you want
5) THEY CAN CLIMB OVER FENCES

Best tip (idk if people know this but it's best trick)
Instant of using cage on them to produce fertilizer do this
Get a dino that u can ride (prefer Phiomia)
Ride it and command dung beetle to follow it (they follow the create if u command follow while ride other creatures)
Then set beetle to ignore wishlist and make it follow distance lowest)
And then command it wondering
(It will follow phiomia while generating fertilizer I call it poop factory)
Up me if u like this trick
I took my level 500 direbear to the hunters cave and easily tamed my dung beetle he is now my best farmer (of making fertilizer) PS:dont tell compost bin i said that.
You can grab Wild Dung Bettles using a Grappling Hook and bring them to a safer place to tame, even on PVE. Works Great on Skull Cave on The Center and probably on caves too.
It is possible for your dung beetle to crawl on a lit forge, which will kill it! So keep it away from any forges if possible.
Found this out while I was taming! Don beetles seemed to really like fire poop. Pyro poo. They also really like big dinosaur poop. But they seem to tame a lot faster with fire poop.
Probably the most powerful creature on the whole island
