You should be training these guys in 2 things: Health (for the off chance of a predator attack) and weight. The weight part might seem pointless now, especially since it barely adds anything, but you want to be able to feed these guys as much poop as possible.
Besides, the higher the starting level, the better you will be able to increase a stat (example: Moschops tamed at level 1 weight upgrade: 15%. Moschops tamed at level 100 weight upgrade: 30%-35%.)
Besides, Dung Beetles are a key progression point in ARK. Don’t believe me? Well, you need to cook certain foods for certain quests, and most recipes require some kind of crop or berry.
The problem? Poop will eventually decompose and your crops will disappear, meanwhile fertilizer lasts a lot longer before needing to be replaced. So not only do you want one of these with high health and weight capacity levels, but you also want multiple to maximize output.
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
