Levels don't really matter with these, but aim for higher levels because you'll need all the weight you can get on these things to work even better.

Awesome for eating your feces if you want a buddy that does that? For some reason...

I used my Rex in cryo. In and out of cryo, grabbing his poo every time and feeding it to beetle. Level 80 beetle took about 6 Rex poo until it loved me.

Simply tame with poop (passive). Then only upgrade weight and fill it’s inventory with poop and you got a fertilizer and oil maker.

Place in a cage (you can access their inventory from a crouched position without opening the cage) in your greenhouse with a phiomia nearby and you’ll never worry about fertilizer again.

Keep in mind: despite being tamed by feeding them dung, they don't eat it once tamed. They'll eat (rotten) meat.

You can use large creatures for poop just sprint and attack something while riding them and they will poop fast cuz they consume their food, but phiomia are much effective i think cuz of the comments here.

I don't really use them so i won't waste a tame slot.

Lost island? Head to middle of dessert. You’re welcome. Take a Rex or Giga and get tons of chitin and organic poly while wandering around.

On aberration they can be found at blue zone, go near poison red shroom and enjoy yourself being poop maker.

These things are AWESOME at getting fertilizer for farms. They got me four bags from one beetle before my decomposing bin could even get 1. Absolutely essential tame for farmers.

Using a Griffin, pick up the Dung Beetle with your hands and get on the Griffin, doesn't make you drop the beetle.

Get a couple of these. Place them in a 4x4 box 30 pillars high and they DO NOT move while on wander. I have 25 of them and I produce oil for an alliance

They can't eat massive animal feces, their code doesn't recognize titanosaur poo as food.

Often Seen Near Green Obelisk on Extinction. On the path beside the Canyon.

they attack when you hit them, but they usually don’t have much health nor melee- just stab it with a spear or whatever you have. they’re great tames so there’s really no point to kill them, tho.

good luck survivors <3 !

My dung ate my newly hatched sarco. Devastated.

Always enable wandering and keep in a cage

Be sure the beetle is on wander or else it will make no fertilizer. If it is encumbered, in my experience, it did not make any fertilizer .

Has one use

Living compost bin

On Aberration, collect many as possible and start a oil farm. Great way for early game oil collecting otherwise hunt Triobites.
