Tips & Strategies
For me they are 1 of the most usefull tames since they can produce oil to power your generator without u having to go underwater with your sea shepperd (thats the must name for any marine creature) and also giving u great amiunts of fertilizer. I find that 3 dung beetles are already enough to power a generator constantly and still giving u enough oil for jerky. They also produce enough fertilizer for a few plant x species and a small greenhouse (theoretically u would have never to leave your base). U have to put them on wandering and they eat meat. U might wanna put them in a cage so they dont wander off. I recommend lvling up their weight so that u can put more poop in and dont have to care about them very often.

Only upgrade weight
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

Dung Beetles collect Snow Owl pellets - amazing.
This may sound weird but I think they are really cute
Tame a Phioma(Those fat gray pigs) and give them stim berries because they will start pooping a ton and you can fill your dung beetles that way for more fertilizer
In ASA, they now have the ability to collect poop remotely and the range is based on overall level.
The Dung Beetle creates fertilizer and oil when he poop are in inventory. It must be wandering to produce. To remain at that spot, place it in a cage on a foundation (ceiling = drop)
Once you use them for oil and fertilizer they will get hungry so instead of wasting their weight for food keep a feeding trough nearby with spoiled meatπ
After you use them for fertilizer and oil for awhile they will get hungry. They eat spoiled meat :)
Get yourselves a Phiomia as well! Feed it stimberries and you'll have plenty of medium feces to throw in the dung beetle. Fill it up, and come back and watch more fertilizer than you can imagine. I'll never use compost bins again!
